Pay System for Canvassers
Grassroots Campaigns uses a quota system to pay its canvassers: “All canvassers are expected to raise at least 100% of the average [earned by all the canvassers in the office] or $135 per day, whichever is greater. Once quota is met, canvassers receive 30% (and in some cities this is 20%) of all funds raised over the week’s quota, as well as a base pay (which also depends upon the city). (Note: for single large contributions, the bonus is 30% (or 20%) up to $200, and 10% of anything above that. . . .) A canvasser who does not meet the quota in a week will not receive base pay, and will be paid minimum hourly wage for the hours worked.”
Too bad the IRS does not audit these crooks!
In Ohio, anti-fracking activists are being sought on Craigslist. It’s not a call to volunteers. Only paid activists seem motivated about the cause.
