If there was enough discrimination at Texaco to merit a $ 176 million settlement with the employees , then there was enough discrimination to merit a commensurate payment to Texaco stockholders--not from corporate coffers , but from the personal assets of the corporate executives who bilked their investors by failing to hire the best bargains in the labor market .
The corporate executives at Texaco don 't care about their stockholders , as evidenced by this settlement .
