wage systems
El texto trata de una huelga de trabajadores latinos (inmigrantes en su mayoría) ocurrida en julio de 1999, en King City. El motivo del descontento era una una serie de medidas adoptadas por la empresa, entre ellas congelamiento salarial (wage freeze) y "a two-tier wage system". Pienso que tal vez se refiera a que el pago se dividirá en dos mitades, como se hace en los sistemas quincenales, aunque prefiero ver la opinión de otros colegas. La traducción será leída en Chile por jóvenes universitarios del área de humanidades. Estaré atento a vuestra ayuda, muchas gracias.

Me parece que quieren decir que unos ganan más que otros, que existe discriminación.

Un sistema de salarios en dos etapas.
Concuerdo con tu idea original, seguramente se trata de algún tipo de pago quincenal

Sistema de salarios de dos niveles
Por el contexto, también podría implicar sueldos diferenciados por nivel, es decir un grupo recibe un tipo de sueldo y el otro evdientemente un sueldo menor

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-tier_system
"A two-tier system is a type of payroll system in which one group of workers receives lower wages and/or employee benefits than another.
The two-tier system of wages is usually established for one of three reasons: 1) The employer wishes to better compensate more senior, ostensibly more experienced and productive workers without increasing overall wage costs; 2) The employer wishes to establish a pay for performance or merit pay wage scheme that compensates more productive employees without increasing overall wage costs; or 3) The employer wishes to reduce overall wage costs by hiring new employees at a wage less than incumbent workers."
