So we agree on something. However, I’m not willing to risk a year or more to get an additional few bucks per hour and lose the contributions to retirement. You’ll never recoup those losses and the cost of lost dollars to achieve a meek increase in rates becomes a “one step forward two steps back” exercise after a couple of months.
We all want what’s best for ourselves and the whole, it’s just a difference of opinion as to how we get there.
