AFL-CIO maps CEO pay gap versus average workers
The AFL-CIO released a pay database showing CEOs earned an average 13.5 million dollars last year, 373 times the 36 thousand paid to the typical production worker. The union cites 2014-2015 data from S&P Capital IQ Equilar and Towers Watson, and notes investor interest amid wage debates in retail and dining sectors. Walmart CEO McMillen’s 19.4 million 2014 pay is highlighted, with company caveats about stock awards and performance-based vesting.
