[QUOTE="jasyatz, post: 499439, member: 19805"] The hangup isn't the "full timer progression" or the "progression rate drivers". It is the gained seniority by 08/01/08" part that is voiding the contract raises. We(the "chosen few") were not given enough calendar time nor enough work days to fulfill 30 working days from hire date to gain seniority BY 08/01/08. And THAT ALONE is what is hanging the raises in limbo. We are currently requesting an explaination as to this "gray area" that has no language in the contract to specifically address OUR situation. There are contradictor terms that can be understood different ways depending on how you read them. Term 1) "Full time hires in progression will be eligible for contract raises" Term 2) Full time hires in progression will make no less that the rate they are entitled under the terms of this master agreement" Term 3) All drivers in progression that have OBTAINED seniority BY 08/01/08 will be eligible for contract raises". This is where we are getting screwed. No one can make up their mind as to which term to cover us in this gray area. So far they stuck by the "obtained seniority by 08/01/08" since that works in their favor and will NOT result in US having to pay them back should a judgement on the language be passed down. It's much easier (IE quicker) for them to make us wait for the judgment and THEN cut us a check, then for THEM to get money back from us via wage deductions weekly. Still waiting...supposedly it's in 3rd or 4th tier managment hands now to help us out. There are around 6 of us here in 177 covered under this language as it was the last 2 driving classes in mid summer. Funny thing is my class was scheduled to start 06/18/08 and got pushed back 2 weeks due to the instructor having either an illness or vacation. (we weren't told which it was) If the class had gone of as previously scheduled, I wouldn't be on this email thread, instead would be supporting my Brothers, not trying to force an action by management.
