You aren't the only one. I had a young, very good, very smart driver going into his 3rd raise bring it up to me today. He thought he had some backpay coming.
I don't see any changes in the language either. Then people saying everyone gets a raise??? Much confusion as we have shop stewards giving conflicting answers.
I never received any contractual raises. Only the progression raises. But since I was "red-circled", I didn't receive anything because my rate was higher than the progression rates.
