Cathie, I’m not being dismissive of unions. What I said was that I think it unfortunate that working people have to negotiate with employers to be fairly paid. If we really operated inside a moral and ethical (and compassionate) economic system, greed would not be allowed to dominate. No one would think it appropriate for owners and managers to make many times the money as sub-management employees. I’m clear we are not anywhere near this yet, but I’m introducing the idea that we could promote an economic system where luxurious living by a few is not more important than decent living conditions for most. I’m appalled that billionaires think they are somehow entitled to their lifestyles while others are homeless or living in substandard conditions. I find that unconscionable.
