[QUOTE="ncrtscisme, post: 160588, member: 4721"] First of all, I wasn't union...we talked about it, but once management got a whiff of it there was no way it would happen (most of us even think the main reason they hurried through the downsizing was because of the "union threat"). So nobody to "protect" us there. If I were on the board of directors, I would have no problem limiting my own raise to the same as the employees...hell, 3% of $400,000 isn't bad! I would even be willing to go as far as not taking a raise at all if I pulled in that much. Just imagine what a great message that would send to your employees if you as a CEO or board member did that. And compared to other big companies, their pay isn't too high (well of course it's a ridiculous amount of money, but still less than other CEOs). I am aware that 9/11 caused many problems in many industries and at the time it seemed just fine to lower the max raise percentage. BUT, as a few years went by and UPS was making bigger profits than ever before, don't you think it could have taken a little pinch for the team and brought the percentages back up to what they were before? I mean, UPS's employees are its greatest asset, right? Suuuure they are. [/QUOTE]
