It's at the core of the United Auto Workers' messaging, as the union pushes for substantial pay raises for its roughly 150,000 members, who work at the Big Three automakers: Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. Sponsor Message "The Big Three CEOs saw their pay increase by 40% over the last four years, while our pay only went up by 6%," UAW President Shawn Fain said at a news conference last week. CEO-worker 2022 compensation at Big Three automakers General Motors CEO Mary Barra: $29 million Median worker: $80,034 CEO-worker pay ratio: 362-to-1 Ford CEO Jim Farley: $21 million Median worker: $74,691 CEO-worker pay ratio: 281-to-1 Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares: $24.8 million Average worker: $67,789 CEO-worker pay ratio: 365-to-1 Source: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings The automakers have so far countered the UAW's wage demands with far more modest proposals.
