I think you'll get a better discussion (if that's what you're after) if you tell us exactly what you're suggesting instead of what you're not suggesting. The idea of negotiating better contacts for workers is not a novel one, you're not breaking any ground there. So how, exactly, does that happen?

No ground is being broken in this comment section whatsoever, and I'm not in a position to break any ground either even if I sit for a while and think really hard (...fuck).

But to contribute what I suggest (again, without breaking ground): capitalists take 30% of all income generated, for themselves. I haven't looked up the financials for John Deere, but I mean that's the ratio when you take the U.S. as a whole. That 30% is a wayyyy bigger piece of the pie than divying up a CEO's income, which is probably a tiny part of that (on average) 30%.
