Unfortunately, the minimum in employment agreements is frequently also the maximum.

Source this. Every Union I've seen continues to support performance based raises, just weighed appropriately against other compensation increases.
Source: the whole economy. If someone offers X, and you want Z, and you sign a contract for Y, they are giving you Y. Do you evet give Comcast an extra $50 for fun?

It's what the company supports, not what the union supports. And "performance based raises" are obviously not CoL raisesm

By this logic a minimum wage means existing no one earns more than minimum wage…?
The fact that there is a minimum wage, and that efforts to increase it are met with resistance is proof that there are many jobs for which the minimum wage is also the maximum.
Their current minimum is 0%. I suspect "you get a 3% raise this year" will be treated the same way "you get a 0% raise this year" is.
