In my mind, this is the fault of the officials, or their local association. Like it or not, when it comes to establishing ref pay, the refs these day hold most of the cards due to the shortage of officials, but usually fail to play them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating screwing the schools or whoever you work for, but being fairly compensated for a service you provide is not unreasonable, and not having a raise in 15 years is ludicrous.
How many of you don't get a raise on a regular basis at your normal job? Why shouldn't officiating be any different?
