What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
Hello, I work as a physical therapist in a small community hospital. Over the past 5 years I have paid union dues even though I never wanted to be part of a union in the first place, but this is not a voluntary matter. A few months ago I learned that the two other therapist (just three of us in all) within my department have never paid union dues. In addition, they have made ~3 dollars more an hour than me because their salary has never been capped by union contract - errrrr. I contacted HR, the union, and my supervisor, but everyone is being very dismissive about it
My question: Do I have any control over this matter? Do I have a position to fight my case? ex: reimbursement, salary increase. . . anything? I am considering leaving this position because I have been the only one underpaid and part of this union - not to mention I am part of two committees at the hospital, which the others are not, thus I feel I should be compensated for my responsibilities.
Sorry for rambling on - just a bit upset. Thanks in advance for you answers! :\
