		<description>I’d just like my trash picked up when it’s supposed to be. Then maybe yet another increase wouldn’t be so bad.</description>

		<description>I see Frank&#039;s comment that makes it sound like they will be raising the starting pay for new hires? If that is the case how long will it take to get them trained. I would assume they would want to retain the current Driver&#039;s by increasing the wages for each driver by the amount they change the starting wage. So if they go from $14.36 to 16.36 then every driver that is currently there should get a $2.00 bump as well to stay competitive. If not expect your service to change for the worse until new drivers are trained. That is if they have any drivers left. So I hope Frank is wrong!</description>

		<description>The pay increase will not go towards the current employees. The increase will go towards the new hires. That was told to the workers from the Office Manager in a meeting</description>

		<description>This is a joke to the max. I am single. My bill has went up 3 plus since the first of the year. 1 bathroom toilet has been shut off. No longer use dishwasher which I only used twice a week. Many calls made to resolve this issue. No result other then the water bill has finally got taken care of.</description>

		<description>Ecua doesn&#039;t make employees go to the meeting to appear to make more citizens there. Not sure if you have priced metal or pipe but every thing is going up. Garbage truck drivers ( which require a cdl) start out at 14.24$ a hour. That&#039;s not even a competitive pay for this area for a cdl driver. You can find all jobs and pay rates on ecua website. So before you go bashing a pay increase do your research. If a mcdonald burger flipper is fighting for 15$ an hour with no responsibilities than a cdl driver with more responsibilities should be way more than 15.</description>
