[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 939196, member: 31608"] This is the economic system we live in - Scott Davis doesn't have to do a damn thing, least of all take a pay cut or freeze; if you really dislike his wage, form a large investment group and purchase shares with voting rights. Is this unrealistic? Perhaps; but, again, this is the reality of the system we live under. And, to perhaps elaborate on that a little bit, in theory this is why there is a union - to bargain collectively to provide some other avenue other than stock to extract concessions from large businesses. If you feel your union does not represent your interests the way you feel it should, elect new union leaders. I don't mean to come across as callous or non-caring, but I guess the point I'm trying to make is that as Americans, we have allowed this system to develop - and then we complain when we get shafted by it? The sad reality, for many people, is that this really might be as good as it gets. Not to say you shouldn't fight the good fight, as it were, but to look under the rug that is organized labor and corporate collusion every few years when the contract has to be renegotiated and act shocked, is being a little naive.
