"During my career, I have been part of several of these types of projects. The one that is most recently is with my current employer. The labor contract was about to expire with the union. The union decided they would run a class and comp study and use the material to justify higher raises. When management learned that the union was going to do their own study, they assigned me a project to complete a study on behalf of management. Typically we would outsource an entire class and comp study, but I purchased software that allowed me to create a custom class and comp in-house in time for labor negotiations. Management was pleased with the report, and we were able to meet an agreement with the union."
