The United Auto Workers union says Detroit 's three automakers raised CEO pay by 40% over the past four years .
The UAW President Shawn Fain has repeatedly cited the figure, contrasting it with the 6% pay raises autoworkers have received since 2019 .
Fain's focus on CEO pay is part of a growing trend of emboldened labor unions citing the wealth gap between workers and bosses.
The CEO-to-worker pay ratio is astronomical by historical standards.
At GM , the median worker pay was $ 80,034 in 2022 .
At Ford , the media pay $ 74 , 691 , it would take 281 years to make Barra 's annual compensation.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk's 2022 compensation was reported as zero in the company's proxy statement, rendering its official pay ratio meaningless.
