Some people have this unfortunate thing called “empathy” that makes them want to improve things for those who come behind them. Some, just as obviously, don’t give a $hit about their junior coworkers. It’s a big world. It takes all kinds I guess.

But to ask the obvious question back at you, you knew the pay scales and benefits when you signed on. Do you truly expect to go to retirement with no improvements in the current contract? To ask nothing from the JCBA? To tell the management (whichever the h€|| management it will be), “No, I signed on for NK pay scales, let’s just keep those…”?
