We should require employee representation on Board of Directors. Germany requires half the board to be represented by the company's employees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany

I believe German CEOs typically make around 1/3rd of what American CEOs make (having trouble finding the source on that, but that's the number I've seen cited before), possibly in part due to these laws.

Note that there is a difference in corporate management between USA and many european countries, where there is two boards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_board

The requirement for half representatives for company's employees is for (secondary) supervisory board of directors, not for (primary) management board.
