Labor Day!

Unions and religions are two really diverse systems of living; has anyone ever run a study on the differences of these two ideas?
Unions want decent pay and treatment for the worker; Religion expects fair pay for a fair days work. Seems to me to be compatible. Why then is there a feeling of diverse goals for these two important organizations?
The problem, as I see it is the owner of the business itself. A strong union can put a business down, using wrong-headed techniques, as easily as a business owner can place his employees in jeopardy of not enough money for existence.
Evilness takes each of these job participants to the same conclusion. The boss pays to little, and the worker does to little.
Let us look at the business. Money and growth seem to be most important. However how much money above a decent profit does a business (boss) need? The income disparity between the night janitor and the CEO is horrific. Are not each needed to make the business complete? Should they each be paid the same money? Of course not, the business has a risk factor that the whole business could disappear. The CEO has the responsibility of keeping that together. The CEO has to be paid for his greater risk and responsibility. The question is; How much $$$ more should he be recompensed for that duty? The night janitor has very little risk. He may slip on a wet floor, and or not clean as he should, creating an unsightly office, that may cause a momentarily set back in sales or such. That given; what is the decent difference between their wages? Remembering that a decent profit for the business plus (+) the collective wages for the employees are the most a company should extract from the economy. (Other costs & acquisitions are what boost the economy) Extra money beyond that is just plain greed.
Greed is the reason for a employee to be lazy; it is also the reason that the employer pays to little to the worker.
I stated above; “The problem, as I see it is the owner of the business itself.” He (they) set the whole system up. Like it or not, the spirit of each business is the owners. Sell, Gouge, Expertise, Lack of consideration, all of these and more is the businesses spirit. And that comes from the owners! (CEO, stockholders, individual owner) Once the business spirit is set, you can bet the employees will follow suit. They have to or are replaced.
This whole thing is that the employee should look after the employer, and the employer should look after the employee! When either side breaches that contract, problems occur.
Democrats (workers) and Republicans (business owners) are in the same boat! If both would look after each other; such that both would be successful, our country would have wealth untold.
Every decision every person makes, should be under the constraint, “If is good for me, then how is it also good for others” if that remark is found to be “not good” for either or just one. The decision should be rejected.
Religion is defined as “a way of life” Unions set rules to express their “way of life” seems to me to be the same goal. The trick here is to make sure that “we do unto others as we would do to ourselves” at all times and places. We are not perfect, when abuses occur, we should gracefully expound and or accept careful criticism and do what we can to rectify the abuse.
Who came first, chicken and egg thing? The visa-versa syndrome, turn around this statement! Bosses, who would be God, cause Unions who would be Godless!

"The visa-versa syndrome"
How about the Ham & Egg scenario. The Janitor or the CEO, how are each "accountable" to whom and how, life or money!

Where are today's roll models?
