A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Yes, because the union contract defines the absolute minimum of the rate, and union members can also earn more.

This will be my last response, it's frustrating, these are basic principles of how these contracts work and I'm tired of explaining it.

So their contract states that they'll be paid $0.50/hr more than the wages they negotiated in their contract. Got it, thanks for clearing that up.
