The union slobs went to far
Just as an example, Akio Toyoda, head of Toyota made $1.9M in 2012 while Alan Mulally, head of Ford made $21M but it's of course much easier to place ALL blame on unions even though there has NEVER been a union contract that wasn't agreed to by management, eh?

If consumers would just stay home on the holiday no store would open. No customers = no revenue.

Consumers and their ridiculous shopping need fuels the demand.
