[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 3575053, member: 73024"] Yes, guys in progression do get a raise. And then after that they get their general wage increases. What's your point? About that resentment...I actually didn't feel resentment when they starting rate for skilled part-timers went up to $1.50 more than what I started at. Believe it or not, I was actually happy that we were starting out for more pay than I did. I wasn't a union steward at the time, either. Would it have been nice if we all got a catch-up raise? Sure. But this time it's a far greater pay increase. Of course it'll breed resentment. Just the same, I'd be all too happy for starting pay to increase to $15. We work hard, we deserve it. But now I also look out for my brothers and sisters that I've been representing for 3-4 years. So you better believe I'll be pissed if the workers I've worked with for so long don't get something in return for their years of service as well. I guess not everyone has that kind of mindset, it's all about "ME ME ME" for most people, and that's sad. [/QUOTE]
