You're job is more important, IMHO. However, we shouldn't be putting down the victories of others. They work hard, and not that often. It's a dangerous sport that only exists for men to drool over. They deserve the raise they got.
And you deserve a much needed pay increase as well. It may feel unfair that they got it before you, but they worked very hard towards getting that pay raise. If I had to wager a bet, I would make the assumption that you haven't.
I work in construction but okay man.
Also pushing lots of weight has nothing to do with trying to better your work situation.
I actually change my mind. Everyone you work with deserves a pay raise, not you. They have to be really at self peace to work with you and not eat lead when they get home.
