Should the government enforce a cap on CEO pay relative to the pay of their employees?

This policy would limit the amount a CEO can earn compared to the average salary of their employees. Proponents argue that it would reduce income inequality and ensure fairer compensation practices. Opponents argue that it would interfere with business autonomy and could discourage top executive talent.

No, but require that companies disclose the CEO salary and its ratio to that of other workers

 @B9W6V7Sfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

No, but only on the premise that employees are getting paid for real work instead of relations and fairly.

 @B3XK2RMfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

It depends on the company and what the CEO actually does. Do they pay their employees a fair living wage? If so, no. If employees are not paid well, then yes

 @B36H68Hfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No but we need new mechanisms for making capitalism work for all. There is too much pay inequality and unions are not the answer.

 @B2R667Bfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No, we shouldn't disincentivize building businesses.
