[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1066509, member: 42554"] [COLOR=#0000cd] That's just what I'm getting from the tone of your posts. I trying to get you to step back and look at the larger picture as to why the starting wage hasn't risen. I'm assuming you came in after the 2008 contract? When exactly? Are you Saturday Air driving? Why not? Most of the wage issue is related to problems P/T employees present as far as turnover etc. The Company has increased costs every time they have to train new employees so often. That and maintaining healthcare benefits for P/T was huge in the last contract. As to representing everyone, "Everyone" does not include employees who haven't been hired and may never be hired. I think that is what you are asking us to do, take a stand for raising the starting wage for people that may never present themselves. I can't sell that to anyone and I wouldn't support it myself. Our Secretary Treasurer, Andy M, was shaking his head when the Company insisted on keeping the starting wage in the last contract. Not because he thought we should reject the Contract because of that, but because of the problems it would create in attracting better quality applicants and solving the turnover problem. Sure, I'd like the starting wage to be double what it is now, but that's just not going to happen overnight. I think you'd be lucky to see it rise to $9/hr in the next Contract. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
