It might be hard for the supervisor, but only because they are also part of an exploitative system not compensating labor fairly.

Pay ranges determined by title isn't fact, it's decided by the company. Having promotions given once per year as well, as is the decision to raise salaries at a different time.

Just as they can make sure to pay their bills on time every month, they can make sure to promote and pay their workers on time every time.

Yes, the supervisor is working from inside the system, but that means you're in this together and should rise together against the system. You both need to join a union.

Have you ever actually been part of a union, personally?
