[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 968661, member: 4886"] I go back to my other question. What is a reasonable profit for a company to make? I suggest that a 12% profit margin is not huge as others suggested. I want to work for a company that makes a profit. Somehow, it seems that if the company makes a profit, then it's "too much". That profit should be shared with the workers. I would totally agree with you if the workers were making far less then peers in other industries. But not many companies pay the same amount of money we pay our drivers. Not many companies put in the kind of money we put in for HW and Pension for PT employees. I think rewards have been shared. It just seems that there is a mentality that if the company makes money then "we" should get more money. Lots of people shared your opinion. Folks who worked for the airline industry, folks who worked in the auto industry in Detroit. However, when they took too much and their companies faced competition, they went into bankruptcy, they shrunk in size and a lot of those people lost in the long run. [/QUOTE]
