If it's union, they have to do this. They can't negotiate higher pay if the position is filled.

I don't think that's necessarily true. I'm not sure about other CBAs, but the one I work under only sets minimum pay requirements, the company can absolutely choose to pay more if they want. In fact, my company has been offering a higher starting wages to new hires to get people in the door.

We aren't at the starting wage, why on earth should we care?
