Who deserves to get paid for labor?

I am a regular reader of the Soldiers of Solidarity site Future of the Union. It's a rank and file publication that had its genesis out of the Delphi issues a few years ago. They reprint a lot of stories that are of interest if you follow organized labor news as I do.

This popped up there yesterday:

Who owns the jobs? Who created the wealth that American Axle invested around the globe?

The answer to that one is pretty obvious: the customers paid for everything. In American Axle's case, that's the Big Three directly, but ultimately American car buyers who have decided not to pay the bill anymore. Whether you're a CEO or a line worker, if you're busier trying to grab a piece for yourself than satisfy the customer, pretty soon there won't be any pieces to grab.
