Wage survey: It's in the mail

I just signed off on the post office bulk mail form, and the wage survey questionnaires will be going out in the mail this afternoon.

The wage survey is our annual look at the "going rates" -- what Guild members are actually making.

This year, for the first time, you have the option to return the survey either in paper form or online. Just go to animationguild.org/wage-survey-2012. Sixty-four people have used the online form so far.

Filling out the survey online will require your name, home e-mail address and the last four digits of your SSN. If you'd rather not enter this info, just wait for the survey in the mail (you should get it by Wednesday July 18 at the very latest), fill it out on paper and return it in the prepaid envelope.

Either way, this will take less than five minutes of your time, and the information will help you and your fellow Guild members negotiate on a more equal footing. Please get it back to us by August 31. Thanks!
