[QUOTE="Blackstream, post: 3451951, member: 49052"] The company on its own initiative already raised the minimum to $15 here in Portland just to try and get people to apply. $12 is what the minimum wage will be here when the new contract takes over, and it's going to keep going up every year until it's almost $15. You can argue it's a local issue I suppose, and it probably is to some degree, but if it was changed to $12 and the company took away their minimum, a lot of people would actually get a pay cut right now. $15 is absolutely the minimum the starting wage should be, because even with that it doesn't seem like we're getting enough new people. Or at least enough competent new people, because the hub is struggling as it is right now. I'm making over $15 right now, so it's not even like I'm arguing for a pay increase that would benefit me financially, and I'm enjoying the OT I'm getting right now as this is my only job, but if the company and the union want to get things working healthily again, we need to fix this.
