    The union members are included in the “we” that contractually makes $0.50/hr more than… union members?

      The contract negotiated by the unions just defines the minimum, union members can earn more.

        I can’t tell if that’s a yes or a no to the question of whether the “we” that gets paid more than union members includes union members.

          Yes, because the union contract defines the absolute minimum of the rate, and union members can also earn more.

          This will be my last response, it’s frustrating, these are basic principles of how these contracts work and I’m tired of explaining it.

            So their contract states that they’ll be paid $0.50/hr more than the wages they negotiated in their contract. Got it, thanks for clearing that up.
