[QUOTE="MattM, post: 3579913, member: 53192"] Where is this $2 coming from? I'm hearing the same type of thing from my rep. They are basically saying we should be making the new start rate at year 2-3-4-5 of the new contract based on our current years served as of August '18. So I'm in my 5th year ($13.80) and they said I should be at the fifth year 2022 start rate starting in August '18 plus GWI after that. $15.50 is the fifth year 2022 start. They're saying I'd be there in two months based on time served. On the flip side if i only get GWI from my $13.80, I'd maybe only be at $14.60. I've earned that dollar difference and it's a difference between a yes and a no for me. Seems like bs. I'm hearing it but not seeing it. And then from what you're saying, I could be at $15.80 with that $2 bump. Big difference between $15.80 and ~$14.60. [USER=72650]@mikejonesjr[/USER] The last contract had a mere $1.50 bump in start rate. 2008 contract had $8.50 start. 2013 started at $10.
