As long as CEOs get contracts that will protect them from being fired, every underling underpaid schmuck should have the same right to exactly the same protection. That should not negotiable IMHO.

I’ve never understood why CEOs get contractual protection when they run the company. If they run it into the ground they should get nothing. If they run it effectively they won’t be fired and they will be retained.

I do not understand why incompetent grossly overpaid CEOs are protected from being fired at will, while underpaid underlings are fired at will. Until the playing field is level I will frankly support the same right to workers.

McDonalds is a franchise operation. The "CEO" is also the owner and entrepreneur. There is no one to "fire him." He is risking his own money to keep the business alive and growing.

You want him fired? who the H--- are you?

Wow, the SEIU party line in a nutshell? Your info page says you're a "libertarian conservative " but your statements say otherwise. Have a major change of heart lately or what?

The top people get sweet deals because the people who control the money think they're worth it and the person getting the protection takes all they can get.

Or, is free enterprise no longer part of the libertarian creed?
