That is not my position at all I agree 100% with what you are saying but I'd imagine that's how the Nc is going to respond
Exactly why those comments should not be tolerated from our OWN NC. Statements like that make it sound like Junior guys are trying to take money out of the pockets of the senior guys. This is not true. The fact that the bottom of the "slope" guys would be seeking a higher dollar amount increase than the top of the pay scale is just a result of the mathematics involved in how severely lacking our pay is and how out of the ordinary our pay slope is. Some longevities are just more severely lacking than others.
There is no pie.
