They change the previews amount in my contract
Hi, I was offered a new position as a Manager in my job, I have being in the company for 11 years already; I started from the bottom as a room attendant in a Hotel, I move up to a supervisor in past 2 years, and now we become union, and they offered me the position as a Manager. They told me i would be pay 38k I sing the papers and now they said they make a mistake that is not 38k is 37k . honestly I think 38k still low for the position, since we now are union, and then they said they make a mistake. What should I do? I want o grow in my career and get experience, but I feel they are taking advantage of me?

It seems low, with the national average for Housekeeping Manager salaries on Glassdoor showing at $48,525

With your managerial pay, you are making about $10,000 more a year than the average supervisor pay in housekeeping. Keeping in mind, geographic location cost of living, experience, and education all play into the pay scale as well.
However, there may also be corporate caps on how big of an increase an employee can get in a year.
You have some options:
Discuss the pay issue professionally with your leadership. Do so in a polite and professional demeanor, and despite the outcome, thank them for their time. You may walk away with a better deal, or nothing may have changed. At least you tried.
Put in some time, a year or so, to get managerial experience under your belt, then shop your experience around to see if you can get a better rate with a competitor.
Or stick it out and get gradual increases per year until you reach the national average. This is ideal if you are happy with everything else (benefits, vacation, co-workers/managerial staff, location, etc...) and can live off of what you are being paid.
Good luck to you in whatever you do!
Take it! After six months or a year u can apply somewhere else! Some jobs do take advantage of u and thats when u work your hardest, learn as much ad u can, then leave when the opportunity presents itself!
Also talk to your Union rep or Business Agent.unless you waived your right to be union?If you have not waived your right they can take legal action and legal fees come from your dues you pay.If your not union,you have to ask your self is $1000.00 ÷by 52 weeks worth the legal fees on your own.Most times not.Then it's time to move on when you financially can.
