This isn't a question directly for me but I need an answer one of my friends went full time but he had to start off at 16...and stay there when he was already at top pay for a year a so... I know when your a TCD you keep your pay rate when you go full time is it any reason why air driving may be different

What is it? A brown box. Duh
Air driver is in a different classification than cover driver. tcd's pay is governed under article 41, air driving is governed under article 40

Was air driver his primary job? Or was he a sorter who drove air along with his normal PT job?

See this is how I was classified. PT who drives air but I've driven way more air than reload. My HR says I was upgraded to air but vacation checks are reload wages. This is soooo messed up.

He should have started at his air rate. Which would have been around $24 to $25 dollars per hour. When you go PT to FT and your PT rate is higher than the FT rate, you start at your PT rate.

What is the wage in the following scenario (and why)?

A part time preloader earns $15 when working inside. He has also drives exception air, when he earns top-rate, about $23/hr. He bids ft ground driving position (and makes his 30 days).

Which rate is used in article 22.2.c, which says that he is red-circled until progression catches up with his wage? If it’s his inside rate it doesn’t matter because it is below the beginning driving rate. If it is the air driving rate, he would make a lot more money.

He is a PT preloader. Air exception is just for extra work. He will receive starting driver rate. If payroll messes up and pays him the higher air rate UPS will get their money back as soon as they catch it. And they will catch it.

Yeah, they caught it.
I just thought it would be his higher rate. But if he was an pt air driver, he would get the air driver rate through the progression period, right?

If you had 156 reports as driver then your vacation checks should have been at driver rate.

I know the person who negotiated the language saying an employee would only do one FT progression.
The PT to FT progression in your case, was correct. If you completed the two year FT 22.3 inside/outside progression, you should NOT need to complete another progression (or the difference between the ins/ins job and ins/out).
The Teamsters also take advantage of people who don't know the contract and won't stand up for themselves. I did not have to complete another progression because of help outside our local union cronies. otherwise they were going to sell me out. Again they (the union) tried to make me complete two FT progressions so I understand your situation.

I didn't get back pay because I made a big enough stink about it as it happened. In 2010 having been FT four years, I bid into a 22.3 air/inside job after having already completed the inside/inside 22.3 progression. (2006-2008 progression). Then the union says "we straightened that out for you" as though they personally helped me. lol

Their excuse at the time was that Article 40 and Article 22 FT progressions were separate entities and independent of each other.

yes but it does not say it has to be one distinct progression or that every progression is separate from another
