Your raise schedule should be outlined in your union contract! :)
But if I join a union, then I might have to pay union dues!!! Getting a 20% raise isn't worth losing 2% to dues!!!
On a similar note, paying 10% of my total income to health insurance is absolutely worth it, because they partially pay for 3 doctors visits per year and tell me to go fuck myself when I need antidepressants or Advil.
My healthcare comes out of my total hourly pay-package, as does my pension. But that's all in addition to my take-home pay, not out of it.
