Christian confederation of trade unions blesses salary checker
We enter a new phase in the WageIndicator project. The top of the
Belgium confederation of trade unions blesses our salary information
before it is launched.
We trust the thousands of anonymous people who share 20 minutes of their precious time with us. So far their data is extremely reliable. On top – we clean the data, weigh and compare it with other statistics. Why we do this? Just because we prefer academic perfection.
Last Friday we passed a new test. Our salary checker was given the green light by the political top of a trade union. Trade unions are in most countries involved in the WageIndicator project. And they may – of course - say: “We will not launch the salary checker you made – on our website.” But trade union boards are – of course not - in the position to change salary information given by the public, cleaned, checked and weighed by academics. But they may refuse to publish it on their website. What a relief! In Belgium they don’t refuse! The confederation checked the data and gave an OK. The wage information delivered through the WageIndicator concept is more reliable then from other salary indicators in Belgium, they say! Lucky Belgians.
Actually – this doesn’t mean that we are free from mistakes. But we make a point of finding and deleting them.
