So, your union was ineffective? Better off without it, eh?I quit the airlines and DO have a non-union job that pays me a decent wage (for my expertise) and provides me with better benefits. Here is the kicker....at HALF the out of pocket cost of my old airline job 😛 . Gee, What a concept eh??
AmeriCa was built on both Blue and White collar workers. Alot of strong and highly visible companies were built not only by blue collar, but also entrepreneurial white collar workers.You fail to realize that America was built by generations of Blue-Collar workers, not the corporate robber barrons of modern day Amerika. They just managed to get into power with their endless political lobby over the years. You seem to have a problem with grasping that notion.
It (also) took white collar workers to make Boeing, Lear, Coke, Apple, Dell, etc . . . what they are today, which are major global brands. It takes both and I haven't failed to realize anything.
When discussing market wages, I was focusing on non-board and non-vp salaries. AND all those management people you're talking about . . . they actually RUN the company too. They actually perform DAILY functions that are critical to the operations; prime example, revenue management. Both have a part and a company can't run without either one.I could care less if the management makes Billions in salary every year. Just fair-share it with those that ACTUALLY perform the daily functions of running the company. Employees get shafted every time when it's concessions time.
Sometimes assets, sometimes liabilities . . . depends on what they add to the company. On the balance sheet, we're all liabilities.Take the employees out of the picture and just exactly what sort of company do you have???? NADA, nothing, ZERO!! Because the employees ARE the company. The problem is that the jack-asses at the top are too inept to understand this reality. I guess all that "hard earned" compensation of theirs clouds their judgment <_<
Nope, I'm not going to discuss wage envy.This is where you tell me about wage envy, etc..etc. Baloney on that! Give the working man his fair share and treat him with respect instead of threats and extortion....give in or we'll chapter 7 it :down:
