[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 988871, member: 18044"] Did you just complete your 5-year part-time progression in May? If so, you probably got last year's 12-cent Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). It is paid only [U]after[/U] you complete your 5 years of progression. It becomes part of your hourly wage rate from now on. There is no COLA this year (August 1, 2012) since inflation wasn't high enough to trigger the formula. Find out if all part-timers pay the same monthly dues amount, or if the dues rate is 2.5 times your specific hourly rate, or three times, or whatever. Locals vary. If your dues are paid weekly, take the monthly amount and divide by four, since you probably pay it for the first four weeks of each month. The General Wage Increase for this last year of the Contract (8-1-12 thru 7-31-13) will be 95 cents. 47.5 cents payable on August 1, 2012, and 47.5 cents on February 1, 2013. Hence the term "split raises." [/QUOTE]
