I don't know, John. What position DOES the STC take on
exempt/non-exempt, pay and hours, working conditions, etc.?

What position should they take? No matter what side they take, they are
going to alienate a large portion of the membership. Besides...what this
prevents is someone like me, a President of a chapter, submitting my
opinion and having it taken as representative of STC in general.

Just another point of information (or more fuel for the fire), the STC
has decided/ordered "No Comment" from officers regarding this case. This
email went out earlier this week. While I mostly agree that commenting
publically isn't smart, I'm a little surprised that the STC isn't taking
a position on the exempt/non-exempt issue.
