When I signed the bottom of my 'golden contract' I went in with my eyes wide open. I knew how much they were going to pay me. I knew the allowances were dismal, and I knew than any annual payrise was 'money for jam'. How can I or anyone else for that matter turn around now and say after signing an agreement based on a certain understanding that 'they' are not paying me enough? Maybe we all should try to find happiness or fullfilment outside of how much money we make and look maybe at others less fortunate. It is better therefore to give than to receive. Thanks for the payrise EK. I certainly was not expecting anything more than what I signed for...2 payrises in 2 years, wow! Better than any union has ever done for me thats for sure.
