Good evening!  I'm Kerry J Harrison at the business desk and I'd like to focus in on a little clip that came across the news wires last week.  It has to do with the salaries being made by our CEOs and I'm sure that when I disclose it to you, you will be quite surprised and even a bit annoyed.
According to CNN news, in a recent survey carried out across America and Canada, it was revealed that on average, American CEOs make about 170 times more than the average American worker, and Canadian CEOs make about 25 times more than the average Canadian worker.  Stunning isn't it!  Most experts were quite stunned to learn about these stats especially in light of the fact that for the past two years or so hundreds of thousands of CEOs across North America have been tooting their horns telling us how much they had cut their salaries to be more in tune with what workers make and what their salary increments have been.  To this I say nonsense!  If these stats are for real then we have a big problem on our hands.  Have not our CEOs been listening to what we're saying and have been saying for over 20 years now?  Their salaries are way too high.  They make too much for what they claim they do.  We're not arguing the fact that CEOs don't work but what we're arguing is that they are getting away with murder when it comes to giving themselves large increases in their paycheques while at the same time they forget to give the same increases to their workers.
They are pretty good at preaching wage restraints but for some odd reason when it comes to their wages they seem to throw away the calculators and do a right turn and give themselves lavish raises.  Then there are the perks that they so openly lavish on themselves. 
We should ask the question what can we do to reverse this trend so that the regular worker on the street is paid more while their CEO bosses are paid some what less?  Is the answer that we should form groups to protest to the right persons who will listen?  Should we enlist the help of business associations and even the media?  Should it be that we create and develop our own businesses and set an example to these runaway CEOs?
