Back in the early 70's I worked in a plant that made parts for Chrysler. We made minimum wage and bonus based on how many pieces we got out the door. After I moved on, I was told they finally started paying the workers a decent wage and got rid of the bonus system due to many parts rejected by Chrysler.

What makes you think higher pay will result in a better product? Look at state and federal government employees. Highly paid with good benefits and produce nothing but junk in the way of service, provided you can talk to someone.
Higher wages does not equal increased quality.
