Some Asian automakers are showering U.S. plant workers with bonuses averaging up to $10,000 while Detroit’s two biggest carmakers have scrapped profit-sharing checks this year because of mounting automotive losses, reports the Detroit News. Toyota awarded each of its 5,600 hourly employees at its largest U.S. plant in Georgetown, Ky., an average of $10,131 for 2005. The plant builds the Camry, the best-selling car in the nation. Honda handed out an average $4,923 to 10,000 associates at its four major Ohio plants. Ford and GM both cut bonuses from $600, and $195 down to $0. Chrysler has yet to announce bonuses, but last year it gave an average of $1500.
