Once the unions were destroyed, there has been no one to keep any company’s leadership in check so, “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.”<br /><br />Here in the U.S. worker’s salaries have been stagnant or even declined for the last 15 years but upper management of these same companies has grown by exponential leaps and bounds.<br /><br />I like to give the first hand example of United Airlines in the early 2000s. I was a Regional Sales Manager for a company and I was flying to my Northern California Territory. I was catching a commuter hop from Las Angles to San Jose and the person sitting beside me was a United Airline Hostess headed to San Jose where she was going to start work with her first flight leaving San Jose.<br /><br />She was complaining how Upper Management and the United Pilot’s / Hostess Union negotiated pay cuts with United to keep the company afloat. If they had not taken the pay cut the company would have to go Bankrupt.<br /><br />But before the ink was even dry on the new contract, Upper Management of United awarded themselves $100s of Million Dollars to split up among themselves, “Because they did a good job in negotiating pay cuts from the workers union.”<br /><br />Bottom line, Upper Management has the attitude of “Horary For Me, The Hell With You!”<br /><br />Workers get “Unemployment Lines,” “Upper Management gets Golden Parachutes!”Engineer of Knowledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179784871538454388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296812581212979823.post-75225354237056940672011-02-12T12:35:06.286-08:002011-02-12T12:35:06.286-08:00I wouldn't limit this attitude to multinationa...I wouldn't limit this attitude to multinational corporations.
