    Jim Farley could work for free and it would equate to about about $5 per unit cost reduction. Executives, believe it or not, make difficult decisions that impact billions in revenue. UAW members make no decisions and clock out at the end of their shift. They have a hard job and should be compensated fairly, but they are in no way the same as senior leadership.
