It's possible that the letters showing $19/hr were left over form letters from the previous contract and accidentally slipped in with the more current $23/hr letters. It is also possible that ASA has a "training wage" negotiated into their CBA. Just some food for thought.
Welcome to ASA. The incompetence you are experiencing is only an introduction to what ASA management is really like. You will be jerked around like this the rest of your time here.
And for those of you saying not to make waves, they tried to screw my newhire class out of continuous per diem 7 years ago, and I was the one who stood up for all of us. We were the only class that got it (loophole was closed after that). I was never retaliated against, and went on to become a union rep. Bravo to you for standing up for yourself and what's right. We need more wolves at this company and less sheep.
