However, to attempt to eliminate the spread of wages over the range of possible jobs and the skills, training, difficulty, and risk associated with those positions flies in the face of any logic. No group or organization can thoughtfully demand wages 50 percent higher than their current level and nearly double the fair wage as valued by the nation as a whole...
