I dont believe there should be a difference for working the plate vs bases. Both jobs are equally important and she be treated that way. Behind the plate is more action and activity but the big call at first base is just as important.

At the local LL, I pay our Junior umpires on a sliding scale, plate/bases, Major/Minors. It creates an incentive to move up, and get better.

But, when I work for the local association, you'd damn well better be able to share the load, with no price differential. Unless a guy is disabled, and can only work one position or another, there's no excuse aside from being a p*ssy. It's one thing if your assignor says he's not ready yet. But quite another if says he only wants to work the bags.
