Respiratory Therapist Jobs

Getting a wage equivalent to experience.
Respiratory Therapist - (City withheld for privacy), British Columbia, Canada
I have been with the company for almost 9 years. New employees with half as many years experience are being hired at higher wages than current employees. There is a current shortage in my occupation. How can I get the employer to pay fair wages before employees leave to better paying union jobs at hospitals and health authorities?
