Papantonio: American Workers Being Squeezed By Greedy CEOs
The following video is from the March 10th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV (freespeech.org/ringoffire) As recently as 40 years ago, the ratio of a CEO’s pay to a workers pay was 29 to 1. But today, the average CEO makes three hundred and eighty dollars for every dollar their workers make. And this income disparity is even worse for big box retail workers, who continue to get squeezed by their employers. Mike Papantonio talks about the pain being felt by American workers, and how they might fight back, with Alternet senior writer Josh Holland.
