[QUOTE="Kae3106, post: 675635, member: 27557"] Ok, here's the deal with the progression. It got kind of tricky with the 2008 contract. I think you are referring to the general wage increase (GWI) not a COLA. You receive your progression step increases as follows: Start 90 days 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years There is also a general wage increase (which PT employees in progression are eligible for for the first time with the 2008 contract) on August 1 and February 1. The progression step rates are: (unskilled) skilled rates are $1 more Start $8.50 step 1 90 days $9.50 step 2(changed to a $1 raise from $.50 with 2008 contract) One year $10 step 3 Two years $10.50 step 4 Three years $11.00 step 5 Four years $11.50 step 6 Let's say you got hired on 9/1/2008 at $8.50 9/1/2008 start $8.50 step 1 12/1/2008 90 days $9.50 step 2 2/1/2009 GWI $.35 $9.85 still step 2 8/1/2009 GWI $.35 $10.225 still step 2 9/1/2009 one year $10.225 step 3 (right here, you stay at $10.225 and do not get a raise because the step 3 rate is $10.00 and you are already making more) The increases for the 8/1/2008 and 2/1/2009 GWI were $.35 and the increases for 8/1/2009 and 2/1/2010 were $.375 Basically, if you are below the step rate when you reach a new progression step, your rate will be increased enough to reach the step rate. (If you were making $10.35 and the step rate is $10.50, your rate will increase to $10.50. You will not get $.50 on top of your current rate. It is no longer a set amount when you reach a progression step, just enough to cover the difference between your rate and the step rate.) If your rate is above the step rate, it will remain the same. The GWI in August and Feb will be the published contractual increase rate that every receives regardless of your current rate. (If you are making $10.85 and the step rate is $10.50, no raise on your seniority date. You still got raises but they came on 8/1 and 2/1) The GWI does not apply to the air drivers in progression. No GWI for them until top rate. [/QUOTE]
