[QUOTE="baklava, post: 1270568, member: 40182"] If your inside rate is higher than the starting wage for drivers, you would stay at your inside wage until your driving progression exceeds it. Since you said it's under $16 it is irrelevant anyway; you are beginning a new progression as a driver. $16.10 is the pre-seniority rate under the last contract; since the new contract has not been ratified yet you will start at $16.10. Once you pass your probation you will begin making $17.25. Now here's the fun part; The pre and post seniority wage for new drivers in the new contract is $18.75. So, keep track of your hours, because UPS will owe you $2.65/hr ($3.98 OT) retro pay for hours worked during your probation, and $1.50 ($2.25 OT) after your make your seniority…you will get this money when the contract passes. Once you pass seniority your progression will look like this: Seniority - $18.75 12 months - $19.50 24 months - $21.00 36 months - $25.00 48 months - Top Scale If you are owed a raise as an insider you are not forfeiting your retro pay by going driving. That is owed to you. UPS has been paying you less per hour than they should have since August 1st; that is money you earned and money you will be paid. The state of the contract is irrelevant other than you should be keeping track of your hours (which you should do anyway) because UPS is going to owe you retro pay for every single hour you're on the clock until the contract passes. Study your DOK. Memorize it the best you can. Ask for a cheat sheet and read it every night until you know it cold. [/QUOTE]
