[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3271066, member: 24302"] Oh I pointed out that if the lowest payscale is $26hr+ then I think it's fair. You can bet that where they pay $35hr they have to due to local conditions. But good ol' FedEx in numerous very expensive places pays the lowest or next lowest payscale because while expensive the local economy is primarily retail and tourism. Flagstaff, AZ or Jackson, Wy for example. After what we went through I don't think 9 years is unreasonable to top out. A 24 yr old tops out at 33. But I agree that those with years in already should be on an accelerated path to top pay. Just as those who chose to stay in the traditional should've been allowed to stay in it until they got 25 years in before being forced into the new plan. But fairness isn't one of the company's strong suits. Be thankful twenty somethings weren't willing to stick around, because without a union there was no chance at better pay if turnover wasn't high enough. [/QUOTE]
