[QUOTE="John19841, post: 849558, member: 10939"] A two tiered wage scale would be the worst possible thing we could get in the next contract. Anyone who thinks that it doesn't really matter, because it doesn't effect them (grandfathered in) really needs to get their head out of their ass. Sorry to be blunt, but it's the truth. Dividing us will only hurt those already there more and more as time goes on. It will have a negative impact in two ways... First, it will give the company incentive to get rid of us. You think they're making a big deal over every little thing...Wait until they realize they can save thousands per year by replacing you with someone who will never make what you do now. Second, assuming they do keep us around, raises for us will pretty much become non existent. As more and more people are hired on at the lower wage schedule, our bargaining power (influence) will diminish to the point that they will not need us to vote yes on the contract. They will have no reason to make us happy, and we all know they won't spend unless they absolutely have to. It doesn't matter what they offer, we can not even think about voting yes to a contract like that. Likewise, the union for their own good too, should not consider it in the negotiating process...
