![]() "Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... What do you think labor makes at Doyle or UK? I know...and I was surprised. The woman who does my canvas works for Doyle and used to work for UK here, and was at North years ago. She makes less than 20 dollars per hour. How long do you think it takes her to make an extra set of reefs and what is that really worth? I know what he's paying for Kevlar vs. Pentax. It's actually how my first discussion started off because I felt he charged way less to exotic fabrics than others. He then explained the actual cost differences from buying them to working with them and associated waste. Most lofts are simply stealing from you and I can prove it if you'd like to actually call the loft. It's up to you. What do you think it costs to hire a person? 7% for SSI 5% for Medicare 2% Unemployment insurance $3/hr for health insurance Rent at $20/sq ft Heating and cooling Electricity Secretary and HR costs and there is more. If one buys sails from you they are putting people out of work. Next you will be offering heart surgery in the back alley. |
