No, but it does seem a little silly to say workers are being manipulated because their union leader earns a higher wage than they do when you consider that if they work for a corporation like Microsoft or Nike the CEO of that company is earning a salary which is many, many times higher than that of a union leader. Nobody seems to think workers are being manipulated because BA bosses earn salaries of several million pounds per year, but they're quick to label it manipulation when a union leader earns a salary of around £80,000 per year.
The workers productivity is directly funding the CEOs huge salary, just as the workers union dues are funding the union leaders salary.
I don't think Microsoft or Nike have a single Union on the property. Unless there are Unions for nine year-old malaysian children (Nike)?
I still don't get your arguments. I am going to be the devil's advocate here. Why SHOULDN'T CEOs get more pay? The are the ones in charge of the whole company...one single action by them ( something as simple as a stupid statement) could send a stock price down and a company into bankruptcy. Or, even worse...into shutting down completely.
