The great thing about your and my job is we can quit. If you don't think you
make enough than quit. I doubt our wounded soldiers can do that.<br>
<br>
So again I would rather donate my meager earnings to our troops than to the
&quot;highly underpaid&quot; staff.<br>

&gt; Hi Matt,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; You misunderstood what the issue was about. In my post I made a clear
distinction between the administrators and faculty, who have received good pay
raises over the past four years, while classified staff have not. Nearly 20
percent, according to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Tom</st1:PlaceName>
 <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Trail</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>'s figures, are
under the poverty line. <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I also noted that administrators are way ahead of the CPI and full
professors are way behind, but UI staff are even further behind, how much we
don't know because salary figures are available.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; My new suggestion is that UI administrators donate all their salary above
the CPI to fund a living wage of $10.75 for all UI classified staff.<br>
