Thanks for the info on union leader salaries yesterday. Quite revealing.

Yesterday someone asked about stock ownership of company leaders as opposed to salary (a very important point in many ways).

Bill Gates owns 780 million shares, or 15.3 percent, of Microsoft, a stake worth more than $73 billion at the current stock price.
