PianoDisc Mission
By Philip Jamison

Yes, PianoDisc does have a religious note at the end of some of their advertising brochures, and they do have a substantially Asian labor force. I cannot say their employees are poorly paid, as Meta Brown supposes, however. It seems like a good entry-level job for the immigrant to me. The system is assembled in their Sacramento plant rather than overseas, which is nice. Of course, a lot of components are made in other parts of the world (we're talking computers here).

I attended a PianoDisc installer course in the factory, and was never preached at in any way, nor was religion even mentioned. The working conditions seemed excellent. I have dealt with the firm numerous times since and no one has attempted to "convert" me. Therefore, I believe that they are exercising freedom of speech, and I have no problems with that.
