Obama's team is looking into how they can block or recoup that money but I don't think they can. It's in their contracts, they are legally entitled to it.
So unions need to renegotiate their binding contracts at every market fluctuation but CEO bonuses are untouchable?

This 'bonus culture' that has developed among executives at large corporations is nothing more than theivery, especially now that their companies are so mismanged that they're using public funds to bail them out.
