      Programmers are grossly under paid and in general programmers lack the balls to speak up and DEMAND from employers what they are worth. It is time for programmers to join the Teamsters and demand that the teamsters act on their behalf. All programmers should receive a minimum of $100,000 per year! An average rate of pay for a C++ programmer should be $150,000 per year. Stop taking crap from employers--stop pissing in their urine bottles like a bunch of sheep. Any company that requires a drug test is demeaning the employee and no employee should ever take this crap! Let's send aclear message to employers that these nerd programmers will not take crap and demand a minimum of $100,000 per--stand up for yourselves guys and gals!:mad: Bill SerGio, The Infomercial King

        You are not the slave of your employer. You have the right and the ability to seek a better paying job or to create your own better paying job. If you don't like the pay or the benefits, take your skills elsewhere. Heck, you may even convince your current employer to give you a raise if they know you are looking around. IMHO, unions are a construct of socialists. If you live in a free country, stand up for yourself! Like it or not, I'm right.

                          Fergetaboutit. I could'nt take the pay cut. Any decent programmer with any cojones of his own is either self employeed or doing contract jobs anyway. The active word here is decent. You would be suprised at the number of people who think they are programmers but have no idea what data structures, alogrithms, state machines, etc.. are. They think drag and drop GUI's are the hot thing to do or will spend 2 weeks writing a new control to do something stupid like different color highlights or some such.. However ask the same person to parse in a delimited text file into records and then sort and eliminate duplicates and all you get is a blank stare.

                                  No thanks. I rely on the competition between companies to pay me what I'm worth. Software is a pretty volitile industry. Establishing a union will burn the entire industry everytime there is a downturn. Whereas *not* establishing a union will allow the industry to adjust to downturns by (1) giving companies more flexibility in paying employees, and (2) allow for the firing of useless employees. (In fact, one of the main jobs of unions seems to be to prevent companies from firing useless employees, and it hurts everyone else.) Overall, I think unions would hurt software companies and would be the best way to move job overseas. (Have learned anything by watching the US steel industry?) Besides, Bill, you are the *king* of infomercials. As the local CP royalty, aren't you afraid of giving power to the commoners? :)

                                        Of course, it's been shown that new scientific ideas are most likely to come from the youngest group. Older people tend to get stuck in the "status quo" rut and, therefore, fail to discover new and revolutionary ideas.
