No such thing. Do try an keep up with current practice.

Who is talking about current practice? That is how things were and its
why some unions were trouble for everyone.

So you're suggesting it's common practice to have a whole variety of pay
rates within a firm for the same job? Excepting things like age or service
time related ones - which of course applied even in the 'union rate' days?

Funny, that's almost the exact opposite of what I said.

And almost exactly what you said.
