I recently stopped our TMMC president Frank Voss and tried to have a discussion with him about TMs and TLs resent wage increase. I tried to share with him some information that proves how badly inflation has eroded away our standard of living. I have worked at TMMC since 2002. from 2002 to 2008 our wages were good and reflected the cost of living. After 2008 during the recession TMMC TMs and TLs where subjected to almost an eight year wage freeze until 2016. I remember getting a 10 cent raise during this period of time. During the same tine period GLs and management where getting pay increases that reflected inflation. I asked our TMMC president Frank Voss about GLs and managers receiving pay increases that reflected inflation and TMs and TLs not receiving pay increases. This is what he told me, he said that GLs and managers were given pay increases because TMMC wanted to keep them happy so they wouldn't leave TMMC. And he also said that because TMMC provides stable employment for TMs and TLs we don't need to receive pay increases to keep up with inflation.
