Yes, often by more than 2:1, especially in the US, which lacks
medicare for workers.

This is the number commonly quoted. It's very much
in line with my experiences.

Average *wage* in Delphi's US factories is said to be US $26/hour.

They are offering the UAW "base wages of $9.50/hour for existing low
production workers, $10.50/hour for high production workers, and
$19/hour for skilled trades". Plus they want the workers to pay as
much as $2,500/year single, or $5,000/year for family medical.

Yep.
