First off I’d like to say hello , first post , but have always read many posts here the last few years .
I’ll try to be clear as possible . I am apart of the New England supplement. I as far as I knew made seniority 6/25/18. As stated in the contract chapter 41, section 1 . Anyone hired before August 1,2018 Shall receive raises as followed ;;; .75 2019 ; .80 2020 ; ect;
anyone hired after August 1 , 2018 will not receive these raises and will be on the new contract . Which the new contract is garbage .
Myself and a few other guys who were hired around the months of June and July are now being told per management , union Stuart and our local union rep that even though our seniority date shows before august 1,2018 , our raises are before august 1,2018 , we bid and pick our vacations before August 1,2018 we are on the new contract and will not get the raises . May I add we all got the 2019 raise , even got a retro check for it but now they are pulling this .
I’ve called the union hall no help , I’ve called HR they just say yes you’re seniority date is before August 1 2018 but we can’t change anything . So where do we go from here? Who do we go to . All we have is our seniority date , it stays with us until we retire . It’s a big deal . I’ve spoke to many guys , everyone says their seniority date was anywhere from when they were hired , first day of class and first day on road . I can’t find anything in the contract , it just seems like they are really trying to screw us .
hopefully I was clear... thanks
