I was in a non-union store approached by UFCW when I was in high school.. I voted for the union but I was on the losing side. The Safeway across the street was union which keep the wage scale up for us but still below the S boys. It was great job for a high school kid I started at min wage but got raises quickly.. At the time, the old-timers did pretty good for being only high school grads. I don't think they do as well now in comparison. Walmart and Kmart stores moved in with grocery depts.. Those stores also took out the local Hardware Stores, Clothing Stores, Drug stores.. Downtown is a shell of its former self. The only businesses left are bars, restaurants, jewelry stores, insurance agents, lawyers etc.

"As far as the 787, what hasn't been mentioned is the role foreign govt. played. "if we don't get a piece of the action (mfg) we ain't buying." Actually I think I did talk about that in another thread. Yes there is a certain amount of what is called offset usually involving state owned airlines (India, China, Russia, etc.) That offset should diminish as more foreign airlines become private owned (by stock holders not governments). Once a airline goes into the private sector cost of the airplane is the major focus. You can't explain all of the outsourcing on offset. Look at the list of suppliers and see if they have state ran airline in their country. You might be surprised to see what you come up with. Its a global economy now and most of us are now competing globally..

A lot of them probably do think they could do a better job. But how often is a big company going to hire just anybody as an executive?
I could see some instances where the executives would have very little to do with big profits as well.
I'm not sure what the answer is when a company makes a ton of money like that... I think a higher tax bracket would be a start. Or maybe they should save it for when the goodtimes may turn bad?
