Well if I were king for a day...
20% ha! 20% doesn't even come close. We're working under 1990 payrates now - 20% might get us back to 1993 or so.
As far as the other work groups and their raises, best of luck to them. My union dues don't pay for their negotiations. Will they not like us anymore? Yeah - I feel the love everyday at work now -
Who would ever want to be king?
