					<description><![CDATA[“Unfair”….what a provocative and complicated concept THAT is.  Even if we as a society could agree as to what is fair or unfair, there will be those who could care less.  Nevertheless, is it really fair or unfair that ceo’s pay, on the average, is increasing where incomes for the bottom 99% of households is decreasing?  http://www.aflcio.org/Corporate-Watch/CEO-Pay-and-You/Trends-in-CEO-Pay *

Is the imposition of a minimum wage fair?  Is it fair that Unions have defanged many decision makers by the implementation of “first hire, last fire” rules, often encumbering efforts for more efficient/productive/progressive/goals oriented operations?  Further, what’s “fair” about maternity leave for women?  And, do those who use “fairness” as a reason to demand benefits really understand the “dilemmas facing management?”  I fear many of those folks are like the ceo’s who average over $12,000,000 a year total compensation*: THEY DON’T CARE!

Frankly, it’s all quite discouraging.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[True fairness, in all things, is a virtue to be admired.  People want to work for ethical, fair leaders, and we should always encourage such virtue.  However, in our crybaby environment these days, there will always be those who believe they are being unfairly treated because they don&#039;t get what they want.  A strong leader will act fairly, decisively, courageously and intelligently in all matters -- easy and difficult.  Let the crybabies of the world whine, hopefully out of earshot, after they&#039;ve been fairly and reasonably dismissed.]]></description>
