Be happy with whatever raise your getting this year. You lost your frontline payout, with the company making service and profit, you could have had a nice check...don't worry the talking heads are happy to pocket that!
A few years ago, we got a raise, and then the company did away with the shift pay. Most drivers at my location ended up with a net zero pay raise that year.
This step progression is smoke and mirrors again, every few years the company talks a good talk about topping drivers out, but after a couple of years it just ends up being talk...no real action that you see on your check.
My take home is still less than 2008, due to the company stealing our pension.
