Hostess. If corporations are people, isn't this murder?
As Hostess was preparing to file for bankruptcy earlier this year, the then CEO of Hostess was awarded a 300 percent raise (from approximately $750,000 to $2,550,000) and at least nine other top executives of the company received massive pay raises. One such executive received a pay increase from $500,000 to $900,000 and another received one taking his salary from $375,000 to $656,256.
They killed Hostess. So are corporations people or not?
I can understand the unions stance here. If you worked for a company that gave a three hundred percent raise to it's CEO then turned right around and demanded concessions from you to pay for it??? Personally, it would not set well with me.
