Filed a grievance to get on 3 year progression. What are my chances?

[MangoMango]

So I filed my grievance stating that I should be on a 3 year progression for the simple fact that there was no other contract in existence when I was hired as a FT driver. To support my case I am going to bring up the fact that every other agreement was in effect(discipline, 9.5, etc) under an extension of the old contract, so how can UPS not honor the 3 year progression?

When is your full time date?

I agree that you were hired under an extension of the previous contract. Good Luke with it.

The union sold out on this one big time. Good luck though.

I became full time during the negotiations but since I was paid for a retro check that started on August 1, 2013. My progression also got changed on August 1,2013. So I am under the 4 year progression.

Did you and all of your coworkers get their back pay for the very time period you are referencing?
I think I may have just made the company's case for them.
I'm afraid you are chasing windmills.

Don't be mean.
I hope we are wrong, as I'm sure the OP isn't the only one filing this grievance.
I just don't see any way to write this case a winner.
If I was a betting man, and I am, I would give odds on this one.
Any takers?

I'll give two to one he'll catch the windmill before he wins this grievance.

What if I was from city of brotherly love?

You would then have to repay difference that you are making in the new contract. If you win, they may want it in a very short period of time, making you work for free for several weeks. I doubt you will win, though.

My BA told me it wasn't a winnable grievance last year when I was wishing on rainbows. But who knows. Maybe waiting a year later will change things. If I had to bet I would put everything I have on not winning. Even if it took everything I have to win $1.
