Right - but what are their salaries compared to the rank and file? What is the average salary of the members? As for CEO’s - they’re responsible for the financial health of their corporation whereas the union heads do exactly what? Threaten strikes?
Most UAW types make between 50 and 100 grand (depending on OT)
So that ratio would be maybe 5:1
Teamsters I think are more varied, maybe we give them 10:1
SEIU is probably more like 25 grand. Another 10:1
Teachers in NYS probably average 70k. So 4:1
Like I said I’m not arguing philosophy here, just supplying data. But a sh!tload of those CEOs charged with providing “financial health” for their companies are rewarded spectacularly for failure. Rick Wagoner walked away from GM with $23 mil.
