[QUOTE="brett636, post: 224079, member: 249"] Unfortunatly your situation highlights why its important to know the contract. Any job that is considered an "air" job has a differnt pay rate than in the hub because it falls under Article 40 which is a special section in the contract just for air workers. Pay rates and even garaunteed hours are different from those who work in normal centers or hubs. The only good thing about this is you are now in a different wage progession schedule, meaning you should get bumped to the top air rate($20.50/hr. on 8/01/07) 24 months after you began doing EAM driving. After all this is said and done you will be making more money, but you will have to settle with the pay cut until that point. As far as working in the hub is concerned I do not know how that should work. I am a combo air driver and I work the PM air driving position. All of our routes are run by combo employees such as myself, but we do have 3 part time air drivers who work as swing drivers. When there are no routes for them to drive they work in the center and I assume they earn whatever their air pay is, but when I work in the hub on my 2nd shift I earn what my hub rate is which is higher than my air driver rate. Its too bad you didn't have good information up front about this new position you took, but take it as a lesson learned to look up the info rather than rely on a manager or HR rep. From my experience they are wrong most of the time, and its hard telling if they are giving out that bad info out of ignorance or malice. My best advice to you is to get a copy of the contract and read it until you understand it so this doesn't happen again. Goodluck! [/QUOTE]
