I'm sorry Fred, but I'm afraid it's a lot more complicated than that. Yes, a universal health insurance policy might help, but I don't that by itself is going solve the problem of under paid piano technicians. What we need is a way to figure out how to convince school administrators why hiring highly qualified, and thus higher paid, piano technicians is to their best interest. I'm afraid just telling them that "we" are needed for artistic value is not going to cut it. I'm not suggesting piano need to be kept in tune only for non artistic values, but with most states having financial problems, a better cause and effect needs to be shown. In other words, what I've been talking about. We need to show how spending $50,000 a year to take care of a million dollars or more in inventory is going to save them money in the long run. If we can come up with a way to do that, perhaps it will raise the income level at all schools. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
