The $75 an hour figure is based upon total benefits. The issue is that auto workers receive full medical coverage during their retirement as well and other perks. Total cost of all benefits for US auto companies equals $75 an hour. In comparison Toyota pays in total around $40 an hour after benefits, still high, but not insane. This is according to a CNN report that was on last night, I assume CNN did its homework.
