Mark Horton asks how the going rate is determined. I would suppose arbitration (and/or union involvement) in case of a dispute. I don't know what the union has to say about use of company time or property. I signed the agreement about 12 years ago and don't remember *all* the fine print. Martin Minow decvax!minow
