[QUOTE="Socrates, post: 1029379, member: 36964"] The shared contract of hundreds of thousands of us covers 1) workers hired BEFORE the new contract begin date (= bigger raises), and 2) workers hired AFTER the new contract begin date (= smaller raises) -- So for the two periods: 2003-2008, and 2008-2013, you were hired under the 2003 Contract. That means your raises would be listed as "Start, Seniority, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, and 4 years" -- a 5th (or 6th, or 7th) isn't possible because that contract doesn't exist yet. In theory, our raises for 5-10 years from now could be 10 cents, or they could be $2/hour. Nobody knows. In "2005" (assuming it was before August), you would have started at about 8.50. After 90 days, you'd be up to $9. Pass split test, up to $10. After a year (2006), $10.50. 2 more years at 50c each, $11.50. --- then you would transition to the 2008 contract, which has higher raises; to date, .70, .75, .75, .85, and (so far) half of .95. So far, that's around $15. -- this all does not count any regional/local per-hour raises you might have had, which could account for the 84 cent difference. Your pay is not that far off from what it should be. The take-home is that there is no reason for you to have seen raises for 4+ years out, because such raises have yet to be negotiated. [/QUOTE]
