Kent State tech position

[Mark Story]

I concur fully. Nearly as bad, there is another state university here in 
Washington that has the position at 49%. Why? Because here, by law, any 
position at 50% or greater has to pay benefits - health, retirement and 
other insurance, etc. It's insulting to me that, first the State agency is 
being a poor example of employer citizenship, and second that any 
self-respecting tech. would perpetuate this.

Personally, I find that insulting!  As long as someone keeps accepting this 
"McDonald's" wages, Piano Technicians will barely above the janitor...I bet 
the janitor gets paid more!
