That's my point and the Unions classification system/pay scale program prevents the real rewarding of outstanding folks. It also kills the otherwise inherent drive within a person to stand out. It's a piss poor system all around.

Instead of their drive being fueled by accomplishment it becomes an exorcise in gaming the system with extra and often useless certifications and similar union negotiated "incentives".
