Hi all,
I started full-time driving after while our contract was in limbo (after August 1, 2013 and before the IBT voted to actually implement it on April 25, 2014). According to the Teamster website, UPS and the IBT agreed to extend the previous contract until everything got settled. I was under the impression that since I went full-time driving during this contract extension period, I should have a 3 year progression since the contract was extended. Today however I talked to my BA and he said he thought the same thing, but I'll actually have a 4 year progression because the contract began August 1, 2013.
My question is: Has anyone else heard anything on whether somebody would have a 3 year or 4 year progression if they started their progression during the contract "extension" period?
Below is the letter hall sent to the local unions about the contract extension:

Re: Contract Extension
Date: June 28, 2013
UPS and the Union have agreed to an extension of the current UPS National Master Agreement and all Supplements, Riders and Addenda. The extension does not have a specific end date, but can be terminated by either side with a 30 day notice.
This means that all of the current Agreements will remain in place until the Supplements that did not receive a majority of votes have been re-voted and agreed to. Any increases in wages, pensions and health and welfare contributions that were agreed to in the new National Master Agreement will be made retroactively toAugust 1, 2013but will not take effect until the Supplements have been re-voted and agreed to.
In addition, UPS has agreed not to implement the increase in retiree contributions to retiree health insurance onAugust 1, 2013as set forth in letters that were sent out to Retirees in December of 2012.
