So if
we want a "large raise" that only brings us up to prior rates even unadjusted for inflation then
we have to justify it and sound reasonable and listen to all the "me too" squeals…but if any other work group is at or above pre BK pay and we're the only one that isn't, that falls on deaf ears?
Not buying it.
