Actually, Stock Holders do. Often,Management at a company wants to do something they know is tried and true, but know the stock holders want more return/ less money spent; so they either lay needed people off, or sell off a division.....
None of this means Management or Stock Holders are evil people. Just means they have different perspectives and goals then us-- those that want to see our Fully Funded Teamster Retirement!!!!! They need us to work. We need them to keep us going. Together, we should last a long time (I hope)
