Executive Paywatch
  In 2007, the CEO of a Standard & Poor’s 500 company received, on average, $14.2 million in total compensation, according to preliminary numbers from The Corporate Library, a corporate governance research firm. The median compensation package received was $8.8 million. According to a recent study by ERI Economic Research Institute and The Wall Street Journal, executive compensation grew substantially faster than corporate earnings in the past year. The study of 45 randomly selected public companies found that executive compensation increased 20.5% from a year ago, while revenues grew just 2.8%.
A reasonable and fair compensation system for executives and workers is fundamental to the creation of long-term corporate value. However, the past two decades have seen an unprecedented growth in compensation for top executives and a dramatic increase in the ratio between the compensation of executives and their employees. Boards of directors are responsible for setting CEO pay. Too often, directors award compensation packages go well beyond what is required to attract and retain executives and reward even poorly performing CEOs. These executive pay excesses come at the expense of shareholders as well as the company and its employees.
n 2007, Harold W. McGraw raked in $13,084,522 in total compensation according to the SEC. According to the AFL-CIO's calculation method*, this CEO raked in $13,386,695 in total 2007 compensation. McGraw's compensation could support 261 workers earning $50,000 a year. Learn more at Executive Paywatch.

Buy Union-made Cars
If you're thinking about buying a new car, truck or van soon, be sure to consult the UAW's 2008 Drive Union Buying Guide. The guide lists all vehicles made by members of the UAW and the Canadian Auto Workers, as well as IUE-CWA. The UAW reminds buyers that just because an automobile is made here or in Canada, that doesn't mean it's made by union workers. The Toyota Corolla, for example, is made in the United States by UAW members, but the Canadian Model is made in a nonunion plant and other models are imported from a third country.
