UAW goes on Strike --- First Time in History Workers Will Picket All Big Automakers At Same Time

Right
That's the way the world works. How about dealing with reality now.

 

Do you pay more for things than they are worth? Would you pay the same for a honda as a mercedes?

 

Nobody's making that argument. No one is saying the pay should be equal.

 

It's not NEAR as much as lefties would have you believe and I doubt you get a response.

For example walmart employs over 2 million. Cutting a ceo's pay by $2 million would mean each of those workers gets $1 more....per year.

 

I'm not going off on nonsensical tangents.

 

Nobody answered because it does nothing to answer the original question.
Waste of time.

 

what should determine executive pay? the board of directors? or leftwing posters on chat boards? the fact is-a million people or more can do the stuff the UAW strikers can do and many of them are willing to do it for much less than what the UAW want. to run a company like GM-far far less

 

accept they are asking for more and you seem upset about it

 

so if they cut it 10 million, they get $5 more

but how would a CEO put food on the table with a salary of only 15 million a year plus all the other perks

 

what are you talking about? there is no original question....not in post #1 anyway.

 

I think it's gonna change the world, in the short term it's bad, not sure what long term will be

 

how much does it cost to retrain employees, rehire ones with the skill sets lost

many CEO's are overpaid

 

First of all, that's not how it works in a lot of instances. It does with you GM example. The board of directors determine the pay and give a contract. These are the same people that also decide that foreign workers are better than American workers. They are the people that don't give a damn about labor.

 

cause they have been shown to take advantage of employees, so employees choose to unionize

 

yep, they either come to an agreement or part ways

we will see if the employer thinks they are worth more or not shortly

 

I agree. But then again, most people don't like change.

 

They'd be fine....and they'd be working for another company who paid them more.

You want the best people possible to run a company and the bigger the company the better the person you need so you better pay them well.

Get a terrible ceo and nobody makes any money because the company goes out of business. It's better and smarter to pay that CEO millions so you can keep the company profitable so all those workers have jobs.

This really isn't a hard concept.

 

the employees chose to unionize

 

maybe, maybe they like where they work and think 15 million is enough

 

cause change is often hard and when people start losing jobs to AI, life is gonna be really hard for a while, society may crash and have to be reinvented

and the rich may live in one location and everyone else is controlled by them, the future could be a scary place

the rich may see the common folk as a threat to their resources and demonize them

 

In many states; a worker employed by a union shop must join the union by law, or not work there at all. It varies from state to state… and temporary employees paid thru a temp agency can be exempted from the law to comply.

 

Well you're obviously not able to respond so this will be it for me....

Either way, you and most of the left complain about workers getting what they are worth and my argument is identical for CEOs. They are tasked with making decisions that keep multi billion dollar companies profitable and millions of people employed. If it takes a salary of $15 million to get that person, then you pay it and that's what they're worth. If it takes $25 million, you pay it because the consequences are far worse.

You and the rest of the left just don't like the dollar amount they're paid so you pretend they're not worth it. That's simply not true.

 

they choose to work there

 

you seem to think a ceo can't put food on the table if they are only paid 15 million a year

 

There was a time when every car was assembled by workers…then came the robots and less workers were needed. The upside was better consistency, the down side was less jobs.
