Were you covered by a collective bargaining agreement? If so, what does that agreement say, in writing, about pay increases and entitlement to members of your union?
If not, were you promised an increase in writing? If so, what were the terms of the agreement and why did you decide to leave?
Did your supervisor tell you about the pay increase in an effort to entice you to stay? And you left anyway?
It's hard to say for sure but you have to answer the question regarding why you left? Was it because the pay raise was not enough? Unless the above cover you what argument would you have that you should receive an increase if it was only finally approved after you left?
