Canem unionized workers just received their first increase since 2020. 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 6.85%, 0%, 0%. If you work out of Red Deer, you received a 3.03% increase in 2024, instead of the 6.85%. Of course, you still had to have a job get the raise in 2024.

Cherry picking comparables can work both ways so it’s generally best to avoid doing that
