There are certainly many reasons salaries increase and *decrease* at different levels within companies in the US. The problem unions usually create is eliminating the ability for them to decrease, and attempting to control the increase. Unions reduce the flexibility companies need to complete globally. That's really the net effect. Take a look at US automaker and you'll see this magnified greatly. Yes, they have other problems, but rigid labor costs are a HUGE problem for them. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:265115 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
