[pianotech] Union wages

[Byron]

Realize that every negative comment against unions or minimum wage has a
negative effect on our earning power. People earning good union wages have
pianos. British Columbia (where I live) has the lowest minimum wage in
Canada and they are talking about raising it a dollar or two. I would
imagine when it does increase I will see a few extra tunings a year. Minimum
wage earners are a part of households with pianos.

The result of unionized labor.  Hmmm...Piano Technicians Union...  NOT! I
heard of the stage hand salary deal on the radio yesterday.  Insanity.
