I guess my main issue with what you are going for is how you continue saying these employees deserve such a huge chunk of the profits that THEY generated. If they want that...then should they also pay back a portion of their earnings in years where GM loses boatloads of money? After all...THEY helped the company lose all of that money.
The stockholders absolutely got boned when their stock became completely worthless in the Great Recession. All I keep hearing is how incredibly much the employees gave up to help the Company then...but what the hell exactly did they give up? A raise for a year or two? I think most Americans (Union or not) gave up raises during the Great Recession. You hear stories of people even taking pay cuts.
So where were these great concessions made by these union workers? Many kept jobs, they continued to get paid extremely well. Despite the fact that THEY (hey you are giving them all the credit for current profits, so they should get credit for this too) led the company into a bankruptcy.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
