[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 882943, member: 18044"] Technically, you were hired under the [U]New[/U] Contract. The Old Contract evaporated over seven months prematurely and was replaced by the New Contract on the Date of Ratification, December 19, 2007. A date which will live in infamy. - - - The Part-time Progression is a five year ordeal, not four. - - - The COLA isn't paid until you [U]complete[/U] your Progression. ARTICLE 33. COST-OF-LIVING (COLA) "All seniority employees who have completed their appropriate wage progression schedule shall be covered by the provisions of a cost-of-living allowance, as set forth in this Agreement. Employees who have not completed their appropriate wage progression on the effective date of a COLA increase, shall receive the adjustment on a prospective basis on the date they complete their wage progression schedules." - - - This language says you were paid under the old progression from April 2008 thru July 31, 2008, and under the new progression August 1, 2008 and thereafter. ARTICLE 22. PART-TIME EMPLOYEES Sections 5.Wages (a) Part time Employees "Part-time employees still in progression on August 1, 2008 shall receive the above contractual increases and will be paid no less than what they are entitled to in accordance with the wage schedules in Article 22, Section 5 (b) below. Between the date of ratification and August 1, 2008 part-time employees will continue to be paid in accordance with the progression contained in the prior Agreement. The progression set forth in (b) below shall be applied effective August 1, 2008." - - - Thus, you are under the new progression, even though you probably get paid more than the stated rates because you are also eligible for the split raises. Our negotiators work very hard to make things this messed up. [/QUOTE]
