[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 491939, member: 9310"] OK, here is the contract, more readable than Chery's version: [URL]http://www.makeupsdeliver.org/e107_files/downloads/ups_tentative_agreement.pdf[/URL] Article 41 says, "All full-time employees who have attained seniority as of August 1, 2008 will receive the following general wage increases..." Not you. But it ALSO says "Full-time employees still in progression on the effective date of this Master Agreement shall receive the above contractual increases." So your steward and center manager are wrong and you SHOULD should have gotten $0.35 8/1/08, going from $14.70 to $15.05. Red sees the following, "They will be paid no less than what they are entitled to in accordance with Article 41, Section 2 below.", and believes that this means you are entitled to the following schedule from section 2(c): "The progression for employees entering a package car driving, or feeder, or other full-time job (other than an air driver or a job covered by Section 3 below) position after August 1, 2008 shall be as follows: Start $16.10 Seniority $17.25 Twelve (12) months $18.45 Twenty-four (24) months $20.75 Thirty-six (36) months Top Rate" ...but he seems to me to be wrong. You transferred on 6/28/08, and your transfer date is your full-time start date "for purposes of applying the above progression", namely that for "all full-time employees, except apprentices, who are in the progression as of August 1, 2008", which includes you: " Rate in Effect on July 31, 2002 Start 70% Seniority 75% Seniority Date plus one (1) year 80% Seniority Date plus eighteen (18) months 90% Seniority Date plus two (2) years Top Rate " ...and there is no reason to think your transfer date is not your start date, or "entering" date, for ALL purposes, since those terms have no contradictory definitions. Thus the category "employees entering a package car driving, or feeder, or other full-time job (other than an air driver or a job covered by Section 3 below) position after August 1, 2008" does NOT include you. So, again, your steward and center manager are wrong and you SHOULD should have gotten $0.35 8/1/08, going from $14.70 to $15.05. But that should only have lasted until 8/21/08 when you should have gone to $15.75. And since you were in pre-seniority progression on 8/1/08 you should have gone to $16.10 on 2/1/08. Then you should go to $16.80 8/21/09. Etc. Unfortunately less than post-7/08 hires. But that's what it says. Or so it seems to me. [/QUOTE]
