But maybe you're saying fix 1st year and not give everyone else a raise? Otherwise I don't understand the argument.
Management needs to fix 1st year pay, the union says "yes, and also bring everyone else up to current market".
Not hard.
And I’m saying, sure - bring first year pay up ti $150 an hour with a 75 MMG and full insurance from day one of intro if they want to raise first year pay. It’ll make backfilling attrition four times as expensive as it is for management now. Make current levels of attrition unaffordable for management. Then they’ll HAVE TO negotiate higher pay. As it is right now, the very cheapness of backfilling with newbies is keeping the company from having to address attrition.
Not hard.
