And it is not done this way everywhere. Japanese corporations rarely lay off people when work is slow, they cut back on everything including management salaries. They have an unprecedented level of corporate loyalty from their workforce as a result. They do not need adversarial unions to protect them from corporate abuse. Japanese executives make about 50 times the average worker pay rather than the 200:1 ratio that American executives make. But the robber barons of the 19th century oppressed and underpaid workers and forced unions to evolve into what they have become. We need fundamental change in both the corporate philosophy and the unions bargaining.
In a lot of Japanese companies the employees have to sing the corporate anthem each morning before starting work. Its a completly differnent culture. Americans would never do that. Well, maybe they would at Anheiser-Busch if they drank enough free Bud in the morning.
You saying I work for McDonald's? Nice guess but nope, I work for a company that produces a lot of items you probably have in your house.
