You are the shortsighted one.
The reason the UNION didn't agree on this is because we have been in negotiations for 5 years and we are at impasse, not because they don't want new hires to make more money.
And yes it is unfair to all the guys who have been busting their ass for years with 1998 pay rates not to have a raise while new hires get it.
The new hire pay raise is a bargain chip for contract negotiations. Contract that will enhance life for everyone, new hires and line holders.
