[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1341337, member: 52520"] $5.50/hr? Evidently a last minute job choice since most of us didn't think a strike would actually precipitate. I had a daughter in college at $180/credit hour and I sat on the strike line for $1.30/hr. Everyone's story is different but I know one thing about working at this company: divided we fall. We can and do appreciate a good job (compensation wise) but those bennies and wages didn't come without hard negotiations. Don't think the company would just agree to the pay and benefits we have. Their proposal in 1997 was that our compensation would be "performance based" and just like "standards" those numbers would change like the seasons. Trusting in the company is like walking across the street in downtown Manhattan with a blindfold on if you think they're all about taking care of us. The union fought for what we have and that union word includes you and me. I say... treat the company with respect because we're all in this together but never, ever forget their track record in dealing with our compensation. The union is all we have here. [/QUOTE]
