Comment on Income isn't keeping up with inflation, 76% of Americans say in new CBS News poll
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 11 months agoBeing in a union definitely makes a big difference. My union agreed to continue with the existing contract through COVID and put off any raises for the time being. We finally signed a new contract and it includes about a 9% raise each year for the next three years. That should put us ahead of where we would have been if we had gotten the usual raises.

Been with the same company for decades, great relationship with my boss, good performance reviews, haven't seen more than 3.5% in one year for a LONG time.
Making me wish I had a union job, ngl.

Should also mention the 3 weeks of vacation, 12 holidays, 4 personal days, and 9 sick days a year.
Union jobs are the best. Anyone saying otherwise is a fool or a con artist.
