Asking will do nothing if they are not giving you a raise he default.

While it’s great to have a union or a inflation based raise, you still need to ask for a raise.
Take a good look at your contract. Are you doing more than it describes and still getting paid what it does describe? Then it’s time for a new contract. Remember, you can have a new contract done at your current job or you can have a new contract done at a new job. If your current manager does not want to review it, then you can do it elsewhere and he will still have to make a new contract for whoever takes your job after you quit. Because of this, it should be in everyones interest that your contract is reviewed.

you obviously haven’t gotten how unions work yet.
YOU don’t ask for a raise, you ALL ask for a raise, you alone need money to eat, have a house, and basically survive, the business will not die without your specific labor, unlike you.
The Union is the labor, without what the business WILL die, leveling the playing feild a bit.
