Motivate the Troops by Being One of Them?

Economist 2-8 Dec 2006 technology quarterly has a 
one page profile on Ovshinsky which notes that 
he's "the only CEO he knows of who is a member of 
a union" and describes the employment policy that 
the CEO is paid five times as much as the ordinary 
worker, rather than 500 times (what I refer to as 
the Walmart norm).

Note that Costco also has an explicity policy 
about wage disparity between executive and 
ordinary worker,  halfway in between Walmart and 
Ovshinsky.
