[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3698544, member: 63706"] That's an interesting take on what I wrote. I was just trying to say that the people who use the 40/hr as a selling point for the contract aren't exactly being straightforward. 40-41/hr in 4-5 years will be approximately equal to the 36 and change we have as top rate now. It's fine that our buying power likely won't diminish, but it's not exactly something to use to push the contract. As for your issue of localized cost of living, that's more complicated than I want to get into right now. But I agree with the general idea that a flat wage rate across the nation would mean that some people's effective wages will be higher than others'. Though I don't know if I agree that any drivers are overcompensated. [/QUOTE]
