I get a raise once a year if we're lucky but I do get treated well and I have some perks that make up for it.

Actually it's based on the rate of which a company were to hire an inexperienced journeyman. So if my journeyman was making 38/hr but the company says that they would hire a new journeyman for 33/hr they could base my wag off of the 33.
I agree that I should be included in the cost of living raise but that only ever happens every 5 years it seems. I don't really care to much as I probably won't be there for very much longer lol The only thing that burns me is the backpay thing. I know they didn't have to do it, but I was the only one in my class who didn't get it
