Unions negotiate based on how much money the workers are making their employer. When it comes to executive compensation, pundits will often defend richly compensated executives by stating their pay reflects how much money they're making their employer.
Meanwhile when it comes to labor; these same pundits insist that workers must compete with each other in such a way that the company gets the greatest value; which does not mean the workers will be compenated based on how much money they make the business.
Why is one ok but no the other?

The deck is stacked against the average American/Worker.

see Vulture Capitalist Mitt Romney. He's the poster child of your valid concerns...

All workers are paid what the market will bear.

The stupidity of unions is that they demand and force companies to pay more and they bankrupt companies and kill the jobs they were elected to protect.

The “owner” class has the money. The money is the power. While it’s true that without the worker, they’d have nothing, the worker needs those who have the money.

This is why worker’s rights are SO important. There’s a very good reason worker’s unions came into being. Worker’s were being treated like slaves.

Heck, Republicans even want to roll back CHILD LABOR LAWS. These guys are evil.

God... you are STILL just as stupid this week as you were last week.

>Why is it ok to pay management by how much the make the company, but not ok for workers<

Do you suppose if you worked REALLY hard and concentrated that you could write ONE question without an error?

I'm betting the answer is NO.

That is patently false. Just look at US Steel and more recently GM and Mopar. Unions have routinely bargained their members out of a job.
