The jobs that the striking American Axle worker referred to pay $14 an hour, down from the $28 an hour that the American Axle parts workers had been formerly paid.

If the American Axle Board of Directors had been authorized to give out medals, I'm sure he would have received the Medal of Honor, The Victoria Cross, Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur and many more.
