Then starting pay went to $10 an hour and caught up to me, then it went to $15. Now it’s going to $21. It’s always catching up, but because I get GWIs unlike brand new hires, I always pull further ahead again. Either way, what they’re making never diminishes what I’m making. They’re my union brothers and I wish they all made what I made. I have seniority though so I have a preferred job and get more hours. I chose not to go full time, but I can always count on a solid raise without worrying about what people below and ahead of me are making.Give it another decade and when you have as many years as me, you might figure it out by then.</blockquote>
