Maybe those Ford engineers that ALM mentions - the ones bitching about the line workers' pay should take your advice. Sounds to me like they might be the ones thinking they "deserve" something.

The use of the word "deserve" is applied because of the mentality of the Union (and to a large extent, the populace of the USA). I come from a family of SFO Teamster's Union leaders, I'm kinda familiar with the worship of the Working Man.
The next sequence in the cartoon should by rights be the skilled worker dropping the tools in the top zipper of the Golden Parachute.
As far as pay rates go, there is no reason why a line worker should not be paid $100,000 an hour, if he is the only mechanically skilled person in sight when Paris Hilton's golf cart breaks down (based on a true story, minus the $100,000 part).
