(Fwd) Salary survey information request

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Jeff,
          I would love to know how they would define average?  CAUT techs
are far from average, in fact, with out being an egotist, I would say they
would form the top 10% of techs, 
  AS highly skilled trades persons, the minimum that they should get paid
,should be the same as the unionized power electricians on campus, plus
double time for those Sunday concerts. But good luck trying to get it.
  Fortunately I'm on contract, and they know I don't need the income, so
the re numeration is fair with no aggravation. 
Just an observation
Roger
