Thanks for posting this LEN_A. This was the first I heard they were actually going to transition entry level up in pay. I've been curious for a long time to find out if those transitioning up in pay would go straight to $28.48 or have to progress over time. If the article you linked is correct than its a instant jump up to max pay which is fantastic! I been keeping track of the reports my self over at: http://uawford.org/entrylevel/
To bad I've still got a little over 3000 entry level employees above me. I'm happy for those finally getting there though!
