JustanneI understand the sentiment, but....I'm not a carpenter: I'm >10X as productive than the next-most-productive software contributor at my company, who is a 50th percentile engineer.  On the software side, I am personally, individually responsible for the majority of my company's revenues and profits.  That next-most-productive engineer last shipped a product 6 years ago.Some sort of union wage agreement would not work for me.That situation is very common in the software world.
