Many unions do allow for some variability in wages based on performance reviews. Alternatively, you could see if there is some higher job category you could try to get yourself promoted to, especially one that differs only in level of responsibility. Of course, this can only work if your bosses are motivated to help you out.
Robert Townsend suggested in his book Up The Organization if you are as good as you think you are and not treated fairly, you should resign and immediately reapply for your previous position!
The concept is who else would be a better candidate for the job?
….there was something about rising to a level of one’s incompetency? I saw that happen, self included. The other thing I noticed over the years was that it seemed like 10% of workers had to pick up the slack of over 50% the others. Really hard to pinpoint exact percentages, but you get the idea.

But ask to leave a little early and suddenly they can’t do ANYTHING without you.

A company I worked for had a policy of firing “irreplaceable people.” They didn’t like to depend on a single employee.
