[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1162064, member: 37112"] For some of us, simple math isn't dazzling. I was responding to a specific post in which someone claimed $70 dues per month was too high. My math is accurate but the point you've obviously missed is that guy is the exception, not one of the 6000 you mention. Actually I agree that the rate (2.5X) for pt air work with a 3 hour guarantee is excessive and should be lowered exactly as Fred was allowed to do years ago (when he supported Hoffa). That was a good move. He should start making them again. But if Freddy boy was soooo concerned with excessive dues for pt's why didn't he push for a Constitutional Amendment in 2011. Oh that's right...he was pushing Fred's agenda to advance his career. One more question, how many of the 6000 didn't know what the dues were when they applied for the job? The rates went up a long time ago partner so most pt's knew the deal going in. Those around when the increase came in 2002 are making a negotiated wage today sufficient to pay those dues, as was the point of the post. PS. Stay off of T-Net, the posts here are usually much more thoughtful... well not always... [/QUOTE]
