Fruits of their labor By Thomas Ginsberg, Philadelphia Inquirer
The topic is complicated: How much should a labor leader earn? Unlike corporate executives judged by stock price or profit margins, union leaders in theory are measured by what they win for members. While members generally do earn more than nonunionized workers, many bristle at the thought of leaders riding high on workers' sweat.
