We were sent this information and several other articles of interest some time ago by an anonymous source. It is very interesting for those of us who got a 2% raise and not much else to see the lavish bonuses International Paper bestows on their  salaried employees. The Lexington Plant ran over a Billion square feet of production for the second year in a row, Several of our managers most likely raked in huge bonus checks for that performance. What did the hourly employees get?  A t-shirt and a  $25.00 Wal-Mart card. 

As a rough reference to use on this chart, our source tells us that he thinks that plant managers are in the low to mid twenties range on this list.  Using their own chart numbers, that could mean a bonus of well over $100,000 for one guy. I don't think there is any question why management short changes us at every corner.  Every dime they can deprive us of is tacked on their bottom line and consequently, on to their bonus checks!

This is a A+ prime example of why we need to organize with the United Steelworkers. This company has plenty of money to pay their managers what I feel to be outrageous bonuses but when it comes time to pay the people that actually do the work they plead poverty and tell us about how bad business is going right now. If business is so bad, why not suspend some of these bonuses?  If IP is going to pay management for doing well, why not, when a plant's production sucks, make the managers pay some back?  We not only need to organize with the USW, we need to work toward getting ourselves into a multiple agreement with several of the other higher producing box plants. The United Steelworkers have just settled a 14 mill multiple agreement with International Paper that featured some real solid improvements in their members retirement and healthcare.  (This story is featured on the front page of this website.)  If you are tired of the same old stuff...lets make a change.
