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.
'If you put these issues to a direct vote, most people would say leaders should make no more than the highest-paid member,' said Julian Gonzalez, an organizer of the reform group Teamsters for a Democratic Union, based in Detroit.------------------------------------------- posted 7:01 AM :: reference link ::
