Well, sure, Andy. Do you have any good guidelines for piece work 
rates? I started in working for other farmers as a piece worker and 
while I consider piece work to be retro and inhumane, I share you 
belief that that is all that will work for some people, but what's 
fair?

Worse, of course, piece work is a way to pay-less-per-piece but it's 
not necessaritly a way to get work done. Unless you do the real 
unethical (which Cal-Can always did to we bean pickers) and hire lots 
of piece workers at one time...


Thanks _Allan
