That is exactly the kind of thinking that got us into this mess where companies post record profits year after year and employee pay does not increase.
These employees are generating billions of dollars of extra profit for the company, and they want a bigger share of that.
How much they are earning is utterly irrelevant, they want a bigger share of the enormous profits they are generating. That is the end of the story

This is the UAW's way of making the same point.
