[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1129364, member: 43436"] Currently, the contract specifies that at seniority + one year, you'll earn a minimum of $10 ($11, if you're earning the $1 skilled worker premium). So if your seniority date is before August 1, you're guaranteed a 50c raise, and then you'll also earn the 70c "general wage increase" on August 1. The four-year progression merely sets floor wages. For example, the contract currently specifies that at one year, you'll earn a minimum of $10 ($11 skilled), and at two years $10.50 ($11.50 skilled). Historically, the annual general wage increases have been higher that the wage increase increments set fourth in the progression scale, so once employees have become eligible for the general wage increase, it has triumphed the floor wages. This will likely change -- temporarily -- this contract, but we won't know the extent until we see the new progression scale. For example, consider an employee who started at $8.50, reached $9.50 at 90-days. At contract time, if the new wage progression reads (yes, I'm "guessing"): Start.......$10.00 90-days...$10.50 1-Year.....$11.00 2-Years...$11.50 Then the employee would also be be bumped to $10.50 on August 1st -- since it's higher than the $10.20 the general wage increase would bring him to -- and then again to $11.00 at one-year. However, further general wage increases would triumph the new progression, thus he'd just get those. If the new progression reads: Start.......$10.00 1-Year.....$10.50 2-Years...$11.00 Then the employee would be bumped to $10.20 on August 1st, and $10.50 after one-year. Again, the second general wage increase would push him further than the floor, so he would follow that. ----------------------------- This is the "correction" I expect to take place. Hopefully this makes sense. The people that will get screwed are the ones being hired in beginning Wednesday, being tagged as permanent-but-seasonal therefore not receiving a seniority date until September and thus receiving new new progression scale and NOT the general wage increase.
