I work in a plant of approximately 4000 employees. The plant is separated into 2 locals. I believe the separation makes us weaker. However, there are bigger issues. One local works in a cleaner, safer environment with an astronomical difference in incentive pay. One side is getting as much $2500+ biweekly while the other side is as low as $250 biweekly for much more dangerous work. Due to the separate locals, those high paying incentives are completely unattainable for at least half of the work force. Is there anything that can be done to solve this?
