Work & Jobs forum might be better one for help here, but that does seem unfair. I have heard of people who started on a particular wage and then goit promoted with only a tiny increase being told that it will be good for their CV etc, but in fairness I think your employer is taking the p**s here, I'd be after a 10-20% minimum increase if I was you but unfortunately it's an employers market at the moment and they hold all the aces and can easily tell you where to go.

That's crazy, have you got a union? Have a look at the salary survey sites and see what a comparable wage should be. You really should earn more than a part time sales assistant.
