Excerpts:
I also think that pay rates for enumerators need to be examined. While the piece rate provides adequate compensation for enumerators working in the most desirable PSDs (those composed of single family dwellings in affluent areas with high education levels), it doesn't do justice to those enumerating in the inner city or in areas dominated by apartments and condominiums.

*For Enumerators*How helpful and effective did you find your training session? How could it be improved? How useful did you find the Enumerator's Guide? How easy was it to use the combination of binder and clipboard? What would have made it easier to manage the paper? How accurate were the pre-printed records in your PSD? The job description states that "on average", an enumerator will earn approximately $655 for about 30 hours of work ($21.83/hour). How closely did this "average" reflect your own situation? The materials also estimate that it takes 1-2 hours to scrutinize the proofing report. How long did it take for you to proof yours? Would you be an enumerator again? Why or why not? What advice would you give to someone thinking about becoming an enumerator? What advice would you give to Elections Alberta?
you are not alone Rocky. Try MLAs and media if you really have excess adrenaline. Cheers, Chris On 11-10-26 01:33 AM, Ralph Boland wrote:
RANT: I am not the only one "Ripped-off" by Elections Alberta. I estimate 5000-6000 enumerators/data entry operators were collectively "Ripped-off" well in excessive of $500,000. Alas, no one seems upset enough about this to do anything. Nor am I optimistic that much can be done now. But I do feel an obligation to at least make some noise. ON TOPIC (sort of): The suggestion that I create my own web server and create a blog from there sounds interesting and is something I would like to do someday. But I am afraid it will consume too much time right now. I have Shaw high speed Internet. Does supporting a web server involve additional charges from Shaw or other service providers? I think I will go one of the blog services routes proposed (thanks everyone). In the unlikely event that I post something that outrages Elections Alberta enough and is illegal enough that they get me shut down I can go the "my own web server route".
