'You can't expect the Unions to take less unless you lead the way.'

Nice reply.
I tried to craft a response to that post and couldn't come up with anything simple. There used to be a thriving steel industry on the south side of Chicago (Southworks). Same scenario. Both labor and management killed that golden goose, then sucked the bones clean. It was finally abandoned and recently (10 yrs?) demolished and sold for scrap.

In fact, that's the area Obama was 'community organizing', all the people who used to work at the steel mills. Small world.

<<The problem is, these guys are not "good CEO's." If they were, the Home Office fat would have been cut, they would have cut their salaries and made the rest do the same.>>

Gotta disagree. The problem goes back 50 years with management buckling to UAW demands.
