That was the same thing with my job. From '93-'03 I got at least a $1.00 raise or more each year. Then our 4 year contracts after that sucked. Maybe a .50 cent raise each year, and from'09-'12 no raise at all. Then only .25 cent raises, and that's with a Union job. If you figure the raises we use to get with the raises now, I lost at least $10,000 in pay a year. The only reason I'm doing good in retirement is my pension plus Social Security disability because of my kidney disease. Meanwhile, a vehicle goes up at least $1,500 a year no matter what.
