$.70 8/1/15
$.40 8/1/16
$.40 2/1/17
$.50 8/17/17
$.50 2/1/18

That's the old contract.

New deal sucks for package handlers as far as raises go. $0.50/yr on your seniority date if you were hired after 8/1/2013.

Start $11.00 / $10.00
Seniority plus (1) year $11.50 / $10.50
Seniority plus (2) years $12.00 / $11.00
Seniority plus (3) years $13.00 / $12.00
Seniority plus (4) years $13.50 / $12.50

You're talking about progression not general wage increases.

If you were hired after August 1,2013 you will only get the progression increases on your anniversary date. You will not get the general wage increases in the contract. The employees who have a seniority date before August 1,2013 will get the general wage increases. The starting pay for new employees hired after August 1,2013 is higher, and that is the reason they don't get the general wage increases.

Starting rate is higher than it used to be but all employees below the new starting rate were bumped up to it I believe so new employees are still getting a lot less for raises annually.
