Looks like about $300k

I think I read the average workers are somewhere around $35k

Thanks for doing this. I am a union member of what used to be a well respected trade. Locomotive engineer. I know it's not exactly related to the stated purpose of this AMA, but what can we as the rank and file actually do to effect any meaningful change in public perception. Honestly, I get sick of signing online petitions and other seemingly meaningless gestures. How do we get not just the general public on our side, but show true solidarity when organized labor is so compartmentalized and often self defeating? I can't tell you how many of my fellow union members support right to work and/or speak out against raising the minimum wage/organizing on behalf of low wage workers.

Must funnel all the money into the financial sector. ALL!

Might be a bit higher or lower at different companies. My current CEO shows just under $18 million. Most of us are in the $50-100k range. $85k is pretty normal for us. Those are pretty real numbers. Not arguing merits for one side or the other. I think where most people start seeing this as a problem is when the CEO makes $15-20 million and many or most of the employees are making $20-30k.

Not so many at my job. We're pretty much in emergency mode for the foreseeable future as far as manpower is concerned.
