Yeah like Union Workers deliberately lowering their productivity and sabotaging the product are the epitome of ethical behavior. The bottom line here is the stock holders, which the board of directors represents, are the ones who call the shots. If they think the CEO is giving them a big enough return on their investment they vote him out or they sell off their stock. Either way the company stands and falls on it's profitability, not whether it is a cushy job for a bunch of union thugs.

Pity that DC sniper wasn't targeting CEO's instead of random people.
Well isn't that just special. You know it's that kind of thinking that has made Unions the social pariahs they are today.
