Default Re: Old days vs. now

Just curious if things have changed regarding hourly rates as well. When I was a mechanic you got paid flat rate. (the rate listed in the book telling us how long it should take to replace a fuel pump on a brand new, cool, not dripping in snow, not rusted fuel pump) If it took you 4 hours on a 2 hour flat rate, we only got paid for 2 hours. Has that changed now and they can actually charge us for the amount of time that it really takes them?
