quote of the day

We don’t use it at all as a basis to form our request. We don’t say: ‘Give us money because you got a lot of money this year.’

Kosuke Hirano, deputy secretary general of the Federation of All Toyota Workers’ Unions, an umbrella organization for unions at Toyota, its subsidiaries and suppliers. He says the trillions of yen Toyota has piled up have nothing to do with wage negotiations; instead, it’s job security and steady raises during an employee’s career that are paramount.

"He says the trillions of yen Toyota has piled up have nothing to do with wage negotiations;"

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

If I were a union member working for Toyota, I’d cancel my membership tomorrow after reading this “Union leader’s” attitude. Nothing but a corporate lapdog. He should be in there fighting for every yen for the members - they are the ones who have enabled these record profits.

Pyramid of salaries distribution becoming very thin at top for Japan I assume :

https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_de_Gini#/media/Fichier%3AWorld_Income_GiniMap(2013).svg

Becoming very the case in many conglomerates where sime limited nbr of employees obtain an indecennt amount of salary for their work compare to others.

Been seeing myself with salaries over 200000€/year for peers wirh no specific sucess nor good ideas...

Those people are parasites and 90% of the time are limited socially.
