GM contract may yield flat per-vehicle labor costs even with hourly raises, study says

THE MOTOR CITY (Bloomberg) -- Gm' labour costs per-vehicle may fall somewhat beneath the planned four-year agreement with its U.S. union that demands across the board raises, according to the Center for Automotive Research.
The deal, which still has to be ratified, provides raises to experienced workers that increase pay above $2-9 an hour and gets the entry level, or alleged Tier-2 employees, to precisely the same speed over eight years. Despite those increases, General Motors's labour prices ought to be little altered, Ford Motor Co. will find a modest increase and Fiat-Chrysler Cars will have the largest jump, according to a report by the Ann Arbor, Mich.-centered research center.
The secret to controlling the prices lies in using more low-cost temporary employees, some Mexican generation and retiring old, higher-compensated factory palms during another four years. Those variables will cancel a few of the issues the Detroit car-makers consented to using the UAW, said Kristin Dziczek, manager of the centre's Business and Work Group.
"The deal isn't as costly as people believe since they are able to use temporary workers plus some of US will retire," Dziczek said today in a telephone interview. "You are going to have distinct work force in four years."
Labour costs per-vehicle at GM will fall to $2,350 in 20-19 from $2,374 in 2014, while Ford's will increase nearly $200 an automobile to $2,401 and FCA's leap to $2,500 from $1,771, she stated. Hourly labour costs increase from $5 7 to $60 at Ford, from $55 to $60 at General Motors Corporation and from $4-7 to $56 at FCA, Dziczek stated.
