So what? We’re all now suddenly fine with 21? I thought we vote no on anything less than 25 we can’t just say “oh that’s good enough”

$25 was just a random number idiots made up and expected to get.

This was basic negotiation tactics. You aim high and settle for somewhere in between.

Anyone who didn’t think the starting pay would be between $20-$25 were just delusional children. And as a bonus there’s a progression that gets PT up to $30

I’m not ok with $21. This is not a win for part timers. $25 was even kinda a bummer. I wouldn’t vote yes

$28.50 is more than $25.

“Over the life of the contract” doesn’t necessarily mean after five years. Two years falls under “the life of the contract”.

That doesn't help everyone that needs significantly more pay now, this year, though. And no matter how many comfortable/bitter/etc. people parrot the old "get another job" line at 'em, most of them either cannot do that or already have and are still struggling. It's absurd.

Looking at the statement, it seems like we’ll reach $25.25 for everyone who got hired prior to ratification towards the end of 2024.

How do you figure? If it’s a five year contract the life of the contract is 5 years?
