propman In my opinion, a CEO should not be making 360 times what an avg worker makes.

I doubt anyone disagrees with you, but that seems like a totally different issue. A CEO can be overpaid and the employees can still be well compensated.

      propman A uaw worker ( on high end) makes $6x,xxx.

      My two BIL's that worked for Ford and GM made way more than that. both had multiple years of over $100K. Overtime adds up at $45-$60 an hour.

          johnnydoom Other than a slow starting Georgia team, the SEC kind of looks like garbage so far this year.

          Glad to see Bama have a down year, or three. No offense to any Bama fans here.

            garyt1957 I did a bit of reading about this strike today. I'm finding out some of these workers are just 'temp' status and that can go on for years. They only make '+/- $18/hr.' with no benefits. ( not sure if they are allowed to join union as temps though). They have odd shift hours as stated by 1 worker that she gets off the 'overnight' shift at 5 a.m.. Also, the 'tiered' pay is nothing short of bullshit.
            I also found out all the workers have no pension plan any longer; 'taken' away back in '08(iirc).

            Strikes were/are to serve a purpose.... as are unions. They, unions, came into being for better working conditions, & hours. It was not about the pay. These days, it is all about the pay as that is 99% of what is always mentioned in print or interviews.

            The workers should be striking. But, about 80% of them have no clue about it all.

            And they are striking against the wrong entity, the companies.
            The companies did not 'take away' anything in the form of pay/benefits. It was the f'king union 'giving back'!! And when it comes to unions....they are ...entities!!
            As a former UAW member/union official, I've seen the shit they blame on companies, when it is their own doings.

            Yes, you may consider this post a mea culpa.😉

              garyt1957 I do, if people don't like it, they can buy the company set their own standards, and accept all the risks. Non-risk takers are all talk

                raggmann54 Could you even imagine if Carlin were alive today???

                Carlin, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinnison. The censoring offended crowd has sucked all the fucking fun out of comedy. 😎🤣

                    yep.
                    Dr.Demento radio show used to play bits of that song.

                    When I was around 11, I used to play my Dad's records in the summer when I was stuck inside and he had a Rusty Warren album, and also the famous George Carlin album.
                    My comedy education started early. lol

                        I used to listen to that back in the early 60's when my parents were out of the house. 🤣

                          Spuzz Rusty Warren would have been cancelled in 30 seconds.

                          Just the title, "Knockers up" would have done it.

                            Spuzz Somehow I managed to live 60 years without hearing or knowing about her. I do remember us kids talking about Redd Foxx's blue material, but somehow we never ran into Rusty. In college I ran across Eddie Murphy's Comedian album, which I assume has been cancelled,
