Quick scoop

If you mean a unionized auto worker covered by UAW , pay can climb with tenure and contract terms, so the number you hear often depends on which plant and job level you’re talking about. Some reporting on recent auto contracts has also noted pathways toward much higher total compensation, including figures around $100,000 per year for some workers under newer agreements.

Typical ranges

• Average hourly pay: about $21.39/hour.

• Common range: roughly $15.38 to $27.40/hour.
