Tire Industry Compensation Survey

Bowie, MD – (December 6, 2006) The Tire Industry Association (TIA) today announced the 2006 Tire Industry Compensation Survey that is being conducted in cooperation with Salary.com – a nationally recognized company specializing in compensation surveys and software. The survey is available to TIA members and those that participate will receive a free copy of the survey—a $395.00 value. Non-members are encouraged to consider becoming a member to receive this valuable benefit. TIA’s membership dues rate schedule starts at $250.00 per year. The deadline for participating in the survey is January 26, 2007.

The survey will collect information on 16 key jobs found in the tire industry:

• Facility Manager
• Assistant Facility Manager
• Service Manager
• Road Service Technician
• Off-the-Road Technician
• Commercial Center Tire Technician Trainee
• Commercial Center Tire Technician Intermediate

“We recognize that in today’s job market, employers often wonder what kind of compensation they should offer to remain competitive,” remarked TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield. “We believe the tire industry compensation survey will be a great tool to assist members with their human resources needs.”

The confidentiality of the data is very important to Salary.com and TIA. Salary.com will aggregate the data in such a way to make it impossible to identify an individual or organization’s data. TIA encourages the human resources administrator or business owner to complete the survey for their organization.

TIA members can access the survey in the Members Only section of TIA’s website, www.tireindustry.org. Non-members should call Megan Walsh, TIA Director of Membership at 800-876-8372 ext. 112 or by email at mwalsh@tireindustry.org; or Wilson Beach, Director of Member & State Relations at ext. 103 or by email at wbeach@tireindustry.org.

TIA is an international association representing all segments of the tire industry, including those that manufacture, repair, recycle, sell, service or use new or retreaded tires, and also those suppliers or individuals who furnish equipment, material or services to the industry. The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has a history that spans more than 80 years and includes several name changes. Originally known as the National Tire Dealers & Retreaders Association (NTDRA), the organization gave birth over the years to the American Retreaders Association (ARA) and the Tire Association of North America (TANA). ARA changed its name to the International Tire & Rubber Association (ITRA) and merged with TANA in 2002 to form the current Tire Industry Association (TIA), which now represents every interest in the tire industry.
