[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1127071, member: 42270"] Honestly, I was hoping we should see the $1.00/hr "catch-up" raise (spread out over 5 years, so essentially an extra $0.20/year) for part-timers passed. It still might be in there, but I assume it would have been leaked out along with the pay raise numbers. I confirmed the pay raises this morning ($0.70 for the first three years, $0.80 split raise for the fourth year, then a $1.00 split raise the final and fifth year). Granted, its $0.10 less -- total -- than the '08-'13 contract, but its still a solid deal if PT starting pay was raised. I'm more than willing to trade that $0.10 for a fair starting wage for future hires. My estimate (based off of nothing but an educated guess) is that we'll see starting pay bumped up somewhere between $10-$12/hour; that will make the job of organizing in RTW states a bit easier and, simply put, its the right thing to do. While I haven't seen the Tentative Agreement yet and will be reserving judgement until I do, it seems - so far - that GST hall did a damn fine job getting us a deal done in spite of the company demanding concessions. In 2018, FT drivers will be making $37/hour and they will continue to be the highest paid in the industry with a defined pension plan and the best benefits in the private sector. Simply put, there's no pleasing some people. [/QUOTE]
