Do you think there should be criminal penalties for corporate executives whose poor management skills result in serious injuries or death to workers, or horrific explosions, or nasty pollution that makes people sick? |

I certainly did admire the the good old days of labor union organizers/negotiators, where the guys did whatever was necessary to get workers a decent contract. Compared to today's corporate felons, the good old boys were creampuffs. |

They were far higher up the ladder of decency than many of today's corporate gangsters. Even the old style mobsters were far less crooked than, say, Merrill Lynch or Goldman Sachs or Citibank, eh? |

At $120k, your friend is pretty far down on the salary list at the Bricklayers. So how do those folks rate such salaries? They must be doing "white man's work" Eh? |
