Here's the thing, in Europe and Japan, the unions have a voice in who gets selected as CEO of the company. These aren't "Communist" countries, they are fine capitalist nations that realize that you can have a healthy economy without paying a CEO 8 figures for failing.
But dumb sheep like you, you look at the CEO of GM making 12 million, and fucking up his company so bad it requires a government bailout, and you scream, "Dammit, that Auto Worker is making $28.00 an hour and has rights!!!!"
Joe-It was Union demands that got GM in the mess it was/is in.
GM has to atone to it's share holders (investors). If you have a 401k, IRA, mutual fund and/or retirement portfolio you are building up, chances are you have shares in those companies. The shareholders decide what to pay the CEO.
Shareholders (Work Partners) just pay their CEO's better in America.
Just think, as a taxpayer, YOU are also a shareholder in GM.
I know I boiled this down very simply...but this thread is about the Zimmerman trial.
Make your own thread about greedy shareholders and CEOs instead of trolling every dang thread on here!
I'm not the one who took this thread into the weeds about unions. That's your boy Gawdawg, who thinks an asshole getting his ass beat for crossing a picket line is the same as a child being shot by a cop wannabe.
And, no, it was bad decisions by the Managers that killed GM. The decision to keep making big gas-guzzling SUV's when the market was demanding more fuel efficient cares.
Henry Ford once said about paying his workers a fair wage- "If my employees can't afford to buy my products, I don't have a company!"
Well said.
