There needs to be a balance, all these companies are top heavy. Unions, serve a good purpose, they defend the worker. Yeah, there are some lazy people, that happens in any job. There needs to be a fine balance between profitability and labor laws and CEO salaries. People have gotten greedy, management doesn’t know how to manage. We need good employers, which starts from the top. > > How is it that we in the USA work more then everywhere else in the world, but make less money on average per hour worked? Hey I agree with you, I didn’t mean to suggest that unions are all bad. I believe that some of them serve an appropriate purpose and work well, but some of them are also painfully dysfunctional. The executive salaries in the U.S. are beyond crazy. If you compare our salary ratio of (executives:other employees) globally, it becomes easy to see where a lot of the inequity in this country comes from. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ford-gm-merger/200740)._
