Average teacher makes $44G while their top union bosses pull in nearly $500G | Fox News

They do this while the teachers they claim to represent average $44,000 a year. Skip teaching, go to work in the union machine.

Didn't Bush bailout many of those CEOs companies? But yeah, CEOs with failing companies getting 45 million dollar bonuses yearly is equivalent to a 400k salary. Whatever you say.

CEO's make 10 times the amount. Union leaders get paid by union members. If they don't have a problem with it, why do you?? Personallly I think it's too high, but I'm not in the union and I don't pay their dues

Maybe because a CEO's salary is 10 times more (or even more).

Yes, let's demonize unions, then shut down unions, then declare corporations people, then disenfranchise 5 million actual voters, then take away collective bargaining rights, then get rid of all of our labor laws, then everything will be better for the American worker.

No one has a right to ***** about a CEO salary that was earned outside of taxpayer funds.
Union existence is enforced by government violence, and once one is in place a worker cannot opt out without losing their job and neither can a taxpayer opt out of a portion of their tax bill going to fund the public sector union racket.
Doesn't sound very voluntary to me.

I think 400k is a lot for union leaders, but If he could double my salary I'd support it.

Well, gee, maybe if you took responsibility, pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and worked hard YOU , too, could be making that kind of dough!!!


Maybe like the CEO of the Susan G. Komen CHARITY who makes $400,00.00 a year....
