It is an interesting thought, Belial, in particular as it relates to the salaries of executives from major corporations. I know the company I worked for (and retired from) is in negotiations with a union for a new contract. The union's been weakened and will probably lose ... but, as I understand it, the contract proposal on the table will insure there will be no raises in the next six years for union personnel just as there has been none for the last six. It's been almost that bad for company personnel at the mid-management and lower levels (that included me). At a time of record profits!!!

Funny, though, those wage restraints don't affect the increases accorded to the top officers fo the company. They seem to be making out like bandits!
