So minimum wage is going up to $10 an hour. When I started it was $8.25. I'm already making $10 an hour. So does that mean I'm going to get $1.75 an hour added to my pay now?

This just happened last year in the Atlanta division. The minimum wage was $7.25 and the union contract changed the starting wage to $10 an hour for clerks/cashiers. How it works is , anyone under that pay amount instantly went up to $10 an hour. Any one already at $10 an hour or above went to the closest pay rate on the new contract. SO the answer is, NO, you will not get the $1.75 an hour above the minimum wage. It's almost like starting over. I had a few part-time people in my department that were already maxed out at $10 an hour when ours was raised. Their pay didn't not go up at all and now they are having to earn weeks to get pay raises again.

That is such a lie I only make $9.00 an hour we are non union but are on a union pay scale.
