He came there in Oct.2009,but didn't make his seniority till Jan.2010 as our shop steward told me last night.He'll get the .70 in Aug this yr he told me.As far as his retro pay,he thinks he'll be getting .50 for the hrs he worked either from Oct 2009 or from Jan.2010 till Apr.this yr.But ya know a lot of people that have been there for over 10yrs did not know that you have to be there for 4yrs to get a union raise,it was in the last 2 contracts stating that.Those who did know that,probably didn't think about voting in this past contract,why should they?They're only getting .50 a yr regardless of what the union raise is.I'm glad I started when I did.I got by benefits in 3 months for everyone in my family,not like the last 2 contracts that they had to wait for 1yr for themselves,then 18 months for their dependents,has that changed any in the current contract?
