[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 273049"] While I agree (took me 2 years to get to 11) there is a little less incentive now due to the money being paid to the union health and welfare fund (dues, initiation fee) etc that you are not going to see for a year. That will no doubt put some people off. Around here as soon as you pay your INIT FEE off you get bennies, now no matter if you pay the fee or not, no bennies for a year (from what I understand, unless this part has changed) and no family coverage for 1.5 years. I don't know I know it doesn't affect me, but it possibly does indirectly (lack of employees). If I was union still I probably would have voted no if only due to the PT wage/benefits change. I agree the dollar jump is a nice bonus but I think the starting wage still should have been set higher. 8.50 will be below minimum wage in many states very soon. [/QUOTE]
