I thought we were to get pay raises with this contract starting 3/24 but it says my pay rate is still the same as before. Does anyone know anything about this? Figured I'd ask here before I ask union rep

Well one evening lazy kid comes in and tells me that I only need to worry about the corral furthest away from the lobby. I get there to discover that...

Either I've been suspended for three weeks, or I've been terminated without notice. The Union is (theoretically) investigating things, as termination shouldn't be an option as this is my first suspension in four years. Still, I'm looking for a new job, but I don't know if I still have mine or not. I...
