Just sounds like some miscommunication... I agree with previous statements that you should just let them take care of it. I am actually hoping to go to ASA here shortly so I am glad to get this info beforehand. It sounds like they are pretty nice people so just let them have a stab at fixing it. If you dont get a sufficient answer, then go to the next step... Never jump over someone's head unless you want to have a target on your head for the rest of your time at that company.

I would think that pay would be governed by your collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Assuming the pay scale listed here on APC is reflective of the current CBA, it shows that you should receive $23/hr for your first year. I'm not sure what the old amount was but I am willing to bet that the previous CBA had first year pay of $19/hr. 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.
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.

Just to give an update... the higher powers in HR have "decided" that pay will be $19.02/hr, 75 hour guarantee until completion of IOE, where that rate will be increased to $23/hr. I am told to just disregard what my letter said and how it is worded, it was a mistake. The also blame poor interpolation of the new contract for why they have had no solid answer, until now, as to how much we are paid. I guess I can be thankful for the fact that I don't have a roommate after being told I was going to have single occupancy. But then again, training isn't over yet....
