I'm all for naming and shaming, but what's the evidence it was Iger? I'm not doubting it, just would rather have the receipts if they exist.
Perlman specifically mentions $27 million, and it's known that Iger's deal with Disney was for $54 over over 2 years. Maybe he's not the only CEO earning that, but he's the one that most people would associate with that figure.
Okay, so it's pretty clear Iger is who Perlman is hinting at, but is there solid reason to believe Iger was the quoted exec? That vile sentiment could have come from any number of bastards at the top.
Only that Perlman is saying "we all know who it is", which suggests there aren't other candidates up for debate as for who it could be.
During previous strikes, I think it was relatively small groups of men who actually got the negotiating done on the AMPTP's behalf, rather than the AMPTP itself. Iger was a part of those groups in the past, so maybe that's another reason.
