[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 1125745, member: 5053"] [COLOR=#000000] Yes! Maybe coming from someone else, it will sink in for them. The funny thing is, if I came in here and said I will vote 'no' on any contract with less than $19/hr starting pay, you all would say I was nuts. You'd say it would kill the company. You'd say it was completely unreasonable to get that pay for part-time work. You'd say you need to pay your dues (literally and figuratively) for a while before you deserve that much. And that message would be coming from the guys who started at that rate or something close to it (guys from the 80's or early 90's). Simply a cost-of-living adjustment to your $8.00 would yield a current starting pay of around $19. Shoot, I'd be ecstatic if starting pay moved anywhere upwards, but it wouldn't actually be an increase in the big scheme of things. It would be a partial fix for a 30 year decline in starting wage.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
