SNIP> However, it becomes a problem when a business farms out work to get out of establishing a full-time job and paying benefits and medical insurance. There are a lot of people these days who are "employed" but not really employed, if you define employed as meaning a fair wage possibly with collective bargaining. Politicians like to talk about all the jobs being created and the low unemployment, but they are mostly part-time or on-call jobs and not the kind of jobs that give people financial security and a future. If Ten Tec creates good jobs by not farming out work, more power to them because we need those jobs. And you may be helping the business keep their costs down as well as your own! True for businesses and government. I have seen a government agency reduce cost by remote maintenance monitoring, built in test equipment (BITE), replaceing tube type equipment with solid state that required less maintenance plus many other areas that resulted in saving the taxpayer money, but the number of government Electronic Technicians (GS-856) also decreased as a result of this. 73, Jim 73, _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec _________________________________________________________________ Get a FREE Web site, company branded e-mail and more from Microsoft Office Live! http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec |
