I wanted to write the first day i got my letter when i saw everyone posting, got it the first day like everyone else. Scheduled for the 18th. I'm assuming i got 3 wrong . Since my day is later than others idk.
Anyway my dilemma is i make $25 per hour now at a hotel and next july i will make $30.25 and by july 2020 if im still there my max will be $37.40 minimum . We get overtime after 35 hours and i always get overtime. Projected to pull in $73k this year. Next year same hours it would easily be $83k. I got a colleague he gets $34.30 now and $1.37 after 8pm extra.
My uncle says im crazy if i don't get with NyC transit. My reason to join would be pension. Pension in union hotels is $1,100 per month after 20yrs right now. Thats crazy low.
Ima take this opa test. Luckily im off that day. I get 8 sick days. 3 personal days and 6 vacation days and goes to 10 2nd year.
What would you all do? Also good luck. Nice to see a lot of good people on here supporting each other.
