We didn’t have a union but asked for a raise. Management came back with 5 cents. To be clear that wasn’t across the board, it was a raise to the top rate. Guys like me, and really most of those that had been there awhile, only got 5 cent raise though maybe those at a lower rate got more. It was really insulting.
