[QUOTE="Blackstream, post: 3576663, member: 49052"] You kind of misunderstand what I'm saying. I know a current PTer will get bumped up to the floor and then get the GWI, I didn't state I caught that part. But after that, the floor goes up by 50 cents, while the GWI will be probably 70 cents to a dollar. So the current PTers will slowly outpace the floor by like 30-50 cents a year. And that's to say nothing about how demoralizing it's gonna be for the people hired after august 1st to be 4 years into this contract and see brand new people getting hired at the same wage they're making because they don't get GWI. It's still terrible. At the end of 5 years, new hires will be making 15.50 while someone that's been here for 7 years will be making $17.15. Meanwhile, I'm already at a base rate of $15.25, so the only thing that matters for me is the GWI which is too low considering we have basically the same raises as the current contract, but 5 years in the future with inflation and a booming economy.
