This next sentence is hard to construct...the owner of the site we all post on and exchange information on is not (does not), Influence the data shop owners use to bill time for repairs....

I.E. Alldata does not tell shop owners how many hour to charge based on the owner of this websites claims..
so everyone in the industry uses this....they all report data and this company compiles it. what incentive do they have to ever try to best the estimate? It's in their best interest to jack up the time required to do jobs. That way, the expected amount of time to do jobs always increases.

I don't necessarily dislike unions, but this smells like that same kinda bulls*t
