You cannot calculate stuff like this... you just can't.
If they earn so much more, should they pay contractors more too? Does your plumber ask how much do you earn before he fixes your toilet?
What about other supplies? Should they pay more for cocoa? For sugar? Do you pay more for bread in your local store than someone who earns minimal wage?
You do none of that... you try to get the lowest price when you're paying (even if the plumber has 8 kids to feed at home) and get as much as possible when you're the one getting paid. Same with workers.. you pay enough to have them stay and they do as little as work as possible to stay employed.
I agree that some workers should be paid more, and that's why they're striking and hopefully they'll succeed... but taking out a calculator and saying that someone made X more so someone else should get paid more too by the same ratio is stupid. In my country, there's a huge shortage of contractors (electricians, plumbers, painters, tile-layers etc.) and the good ones earn as much as doctors... and due to a shortage, large companies have problems getting eg. electricians (because contracting pays more and gives more freedom), so their pay is going up... does that mean that accountants pay should go up too? (there's no shortage of accountants)
The owners brought in a new CEO, and your company earned 1 mio more due to his decisions. The owners could've chosen a cheaper CEO, or a more expensive one, if the ceo made the company earn 1mio more, they probably made a good choice. Starting a company is easy and cheap, and anyone can be a CEO... making million(s) per month is hard.
