NO! you will not receive the GWI for four years...till after you hit 13 an hour. You are in a four year progression... Andupser posted the wage progession chart.
Part of the problem with new hires is they are told a bunch of crap from HR and then their part-time sups. To top it off, they are then told crap from other hourlies. Finally, they are told crap from 8 out of 10 stewards.
