The answer is simple- education and opportunity. If you aren't satisfied with your income learn how to make more and look for the opportunies to do so. In this country there is no good excuse to do otherwise because they are out there everywhere.
The crap on the website you linked is exactly the reason I HATE the unions. They are built on nothing more that envy and greed of the average worker and only truely serve the corrupt union leadership. They pervert the economic relationship between pay and productivity and are the major reason for the loss of manufacturing in this country. If the company I work for was to go union, I would resign that very day because I don't want to see any more lazy union lackeys sit on their a$$e$ in union protected jobs getting paid for the work I am doing.
Agreed.
If you notice, everyone who supports the unions "get even with them" mindset toward CEOs ignores the question as to why, if 'fairness' is so important, union bosses makes so much more than union members.
Another point, there seems to be a belief by some here that being a CEO is easy, and it is only a "good old boys" network. While some of that is most definitely true, I'm reminded of some good leftists who owned "Ben and Jerry's" Ice cream company. They wanted to make a statement about runaway corporate pay, so they instituted a pay cap for the CEO, limiting it to 5 times the lowest paid worker.
Truly a victory for "fair" minded people everywhere.
The only problem was that they weren't able to attract "top flight" management at that level, so they eventually bumped it up to 16 times lowest pay. Since then they've managed to be "acquired" by Unilever.
