Buy Union-made Cars

If you're thinking about buying a new car, truck or van soon, be sure to consult the UAW's 2010 Drive Union Buying Guide. The guide lists all vehicles made by members of the UAW and the Canadian Auto Workers, as well as IUE-CWA. The list includes the familiar brands such as Buick, Chevrolet, Ford, Mercury, Dodge and Jeep, as well as union-made models from Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota and Volkswagen. Car shoppers should remember that not all vehicles made in the United States or Canada are built by union-represented workers. For example, most models of the GMC Sierra are produced in the United States but some are made in Mexico.

Executive Paywatch

In 2008, the CEO of a Standard & Poor’s 500 company received, on average, $10.4 million in total compensation, according to The Corporate Library, a corporate governance research firm.

But even as the economy slumped, the median salary for CEOs of 200 large companies increased 4.5% to $1.08 million, according to a survey by The Wall Street Journal.

Even CEO perks went up, on average, 12.5% in 2008 to $336,248 — or nine times the median salary of a full-time worker.

The past two decades have seen a dramatic increase in the ratio between the compensation of executives and their employees.

These executive pay excesses come at the expense of share-holders as well as the company and its employees.

KGTV is owned by McGraw-Hill. In 2008, CEO Harold W. McGraw III raked in $9,914,082 in total compensation, about $79 a minute. That money could support 198 workers earning $50,000 a year.
