All labor is marginal. It must be paid for out of marginal increases in cash flow. In the sense that labor doesn't meet its margins, there's a ... conflict. When you say "greedy upper management", please understand that 1) absentee management ( they're caretakers and not owners ) and 2) attempts to "improve" compensation in the past are what led us here in the first place. One comes from mutual-fund style finance and the other from "CEOs make too much money" in the 1970s/1980s leading to performance-based compensation. Since the people who measure performance work for upper management, what could possibly go wrong?
