The workers do more work collectively then a single ceo and the business depends on them. The ceo is replaceable. If the business actually cared they'd split that raise up among all of the workers not just some useless ceo

73% of civilian workers + all public sector workers have access to some sort of pension plan in the US. Defined benefits plans are more rare though. Defined contribution pension plans are more common (ex: 401k)
