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?

I have to disagree with you. Officials do not have anything how a league pays officials and how much. This is not in the hands of any official or association. Not everyone is assigned games through associations, so I am not sure how an official's association would have anything to do with what someone gets paid for a particular league.
