瑞士要公投,把公司高管的薪水降低到本公司员工的最低薪水。
马克思预测的是共产主义首先在发达国家实现。看看瑞士是否会率先成功。^_^
瑞士最近要全民投票,大幅度地提高最低工资。十一月,有另一项公民投票,要把公司高管的薪水将低到本公司最低员工的薪水。
好像在瑞士,有10万公民连署,就可以公投。
不可思议,也有可能是下面yahoo文章的乌龙。看了1:12 initiative, 的链接, 应该是最低工资的12倍。这是雅虎商业的头版文章。联邦关门,雅虎就乱来了?^_^

More than 100,000 residents in Switzerland have signed a petition demanding that the government ensure a minimum monthly income of nearly $2,800 (2,500 Swiss francs) for all adults in the country.
The 120,000 signatures are enough to formally call a vote in the government over whether or not to approve the “CHF 2,500 monthly for everyone" (Grundeinkommen)” funding proposal.
For comparison, the average U.S. worker earned $3,769 in pre-tax, monthly salary in 2011. Food service industry workers earned $1,785 in pre-tax income during the same period.
MSN reports that in a public display of support, advocates tipped over a truck full of 8 million five-cent coins in front of the Swiss capital on Friday, one coin for each of the country’s citizens.Funding for the proposed measure would come out of the Swiss social insurance system, which already guarantees universal health care coverage for its citizens, along with other benefits designed to uphold the country’s social safety net.
Because of the relatively low threshold for forcing votes on referendum driven issues, Switzerland typically votes on several public measures each year.
For example, on November 24th, the country will vote on a separate measure that would limit executive pay to the same amount paid to a company’s lowest paid staff member.
The so-called 1:12 initiative has received support from the Swiss government’s Social Democrat bloc.
At least one of Switzerland’s biggest CEO’s has said if the measure passes, he would consider moving his company out of the country .
“I can’t believe that Switzerland would cause such great harm to its economy,” Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg told the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. “And I say that not just as the head of a company, but as a Swiss citizen.”
Glencore said the measure could have a disastrous effect on other Swiss companies, including Nestlé, Novartis and Roche.
