Corporate Watch
Union membership is a worker’s best protection against corporate power. For this reason many companies will use tactics that are dishonest at best, and sometimes criminal, to keep unions out. Where unions are present, many employers shamefully attempt to break the will of workers before granting even nominal concessions through collective bargaining. This page is meant to be a resource for our brothers and sisters involved in these struggles to get the message out, and for all others to become aware and involved in the fight. Please visit often to stay aware of updates on contract negotiations, strikes, organizing drives and other actions for local, national and international campaigns. If you are currently involved in a struggle with a company, or know of a bad corporate citizen that we have missed, please submit your story to jdrinkwater@massaflcio.org: Chief executives at the nation’s largest corporations received $9.25 million in average total compensation in 2009, according to the AFL-CIO’s analysis of available pay data from 292 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index. Although average total compensation for these CEOs declined 9 percent from the previous year, executive retirement benefits increased 23 percent.
