need a raise?
<rant>As reported by the excellent AFL-CIO Paywatch Database, Lucent CEO Henry Schacht pulled in $21,567,312 in 2001. And yet, as reported in the Boston Globe today, Lucent is now $7.9 billion in the hole and will be cutting 7,000 jobs. That’s laying off 7,000 people. That’s taking 7,000 people’s lives and going whoop! yer screwed! And remember both IBM and HP recently laid off twice that (and of course the CEO’s made off with even more of their loot). Ug!</rant> Let’s scrap the whole thing and start all over, ok? in the meantime, United for a Fair Economy are excellent folks to be organizing with.
