Maybe from taxes withheld from all those one time bonuses?

Do the math, that isn't even 40 hours a week. What is long and hard about that? Please explain, also long hard hours and union job don't belong in the same sentence.

You're slow. 1850 is the minimum number of hours you could work in a year and be eligible to receive a bonus check. It is not the average number of hours anyone worked
Here are the first three paragraphs of the story, including what you referenced above.
After a year of working mostly six days a week and 12-hour shifts, they earned them, United Auto Workers Local 1853 Chairman Mike Herron said. Union members who logged at least 1,850 hours in 2017 will receive the profit-sharing payment in their paychecks Feb. 23.
“All of our employees work very, very hard,” Herron said. “Some weeks, we worked seven days a week last year. It’s a physically demanding job. It’s not easy being away from your family and working so much.
“Not everyone was happy about working as many hours as we did,” he admitted. “But at the end of the day, it was a tremendous payout. All of our team members are happy about that.”
six days a week; 12 hour shifts, sometimes 7 day weeks; yet all you can think of is how lazy union workers are. I suspect you are the lazy one and are just projecting.

February will tell the tale, slick. If all that surplus is from pay raises and bonuses, then I guess those pay raises and bonuses were crumbs!

No. It's different because the GOP avoids any pretense of just helping those who need help and hands out fistfuls of cash to everybody and anybody to buy votes. The only GOP stipulation being that the less you need money, the more the GOP hands you!

Oh...so it's okay for the dimwits to buy the votes of the poor by expanding entitlement programs? But when the GOP "hands out fistfuls of cash" (which I take to mean aren't crumbs) to the people who actually work and pay most of the freight with their taxes, this is somehow immoral? The only reason you're such a sourpuss is that if welfare programs aren't expanded, the "poor" won't have much of an incentive to vote for the dimwits, will they?

The GOP is not handing out fistfuls of cash.
The government is taking less of the people’s own money.
That’s a huge distinction,

Not to libs it isn't. Letting working taxpayers keep more of their own $$$ is vote payola; whereas having the taxpayers "hand out fistfuls of cash", through government programs, to the poor doesn't buy a single dimwit a vote.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich may be big where you come from.
We don't like it where I come from.

That is just one viewpoint.
I think that any returning armed service American should not have to struggle finding a decent job period, and those who don't want to work should not even receive crappy yellow cheese and plain white cans of junk meat. Your concern for the poor is admirable, but moving to a more merit based immigration in our country would do more for the poor than all the good you folks have done in the last fifty years combined. The people that you hold in high esteem are only good for managing chaos to survive in power, improving nothing. You will never have viewership of your posts that amounts numbers agreeing with you other than a very small number of extremist like yourself. The vacuum of jobs leaving other country's coming back to the United States will have many outside our borders very worried. Dan Pena said President Donald J. Trump was going to rock the world, and not only was Mr Pena correct but our President is just getting started. Go have yourself a great big cry.

You really will be upset when they cut SNAP benefits and give canned USDA food. It might get to the point where people just can't afford to not work.
