yep, just provide valid explanation/proof, that your value is higher than they are currently paying you and it becomes a win/win for management to "keep you happy/productive"..

$21/hour for the last 2 years.  The only time I seem to get any kind of raise is when I get laid off or fired - then hired back (after they realize they really did need me after all). I feel underpaid now thanks to this thread as well - but on the bright side, I'm way overdue for a layoff...
