According to a front page article in the Tuesday Wall Street Journal, when Carlos Tavares went from being CEO of relatively small Peugeot Auto to vastly bigger Stellantis, he was given a 70% increase in pay.

The heads of GM and Ford have gotten far less than a 70% pay raise, but when the 3 CEO pay increases are averaged, Carlos Tavares “whopper” of a pay increase raises the average far above what average hourly paid workers in the three automakers have been given.

This had become vocal issue in negotiating, that I was unaware of.

As previously posted here, Stellantis’ more than $14,000 “profit sharing” checks to its hourly workers are far higher than GM or Ford.
