Since we're going to respond to a thread that was abandoned 3 years ago, okay....I agree that fees should be the same. That's the way we do it. You trade of the dish each time you work with someone. I actually have some friends who will work the plate every time if I want them to. These guys don't care for the bases so much. Who am I to argue at my age.
There are groups that have to pay the plate umpire more, simply because it's hard to get some umpires to work the plate without some kind of bribe. The assigners are put in a tough position having to find umpires for all the games, and they do not have the manpower to just say "fine, I don't need you." It's all a matter of supply and demand. Where I live, there is no shortage of umpires, so the assigners have more leverage. If you don't want an assignment, there are many others who will take it.
