[QUOTE="Feeder665, post: 4139252, member: 76924"] I can’t speak for Colorado, as I am in California. Different Union rules and different Supplement. So take what I say with that in mind. I’ll try to answer your questions as best I can in order..... 1) we have 401k but no match 2) I used vacation / sick pay and state paternities pay to take 3 months off when each my kids were born. Paid. 3) 2 weeks vacation after probation. 3 weeks at 3 years. 4 weeks at 5 years. 6 weeks at 10 years. 7 weeks at 20 years. 8 weeks at 25 years. 9 weeks at 30 years is the cap. 4) 9 sick days a year every July 1st. Max accrual is 45 sick days saved. 5) full coverage for health, dental, vision. 6) $60-90/month in union dues depending on union. 7) peer 80 pension plan vested after 5 years. Age + years of service = 80 you get full retirement. I don’t know much about the mileage jobs as we don’t have any in my area (currently, supposedly we are about to get some). Current pay is $37.89/hr with $3.45 in raises over the next 4 years every August 1st. Double time for 6th punch days. In my supplement our feeders do NOT have a progression. Any feeder hired outside or inside bumps straight to top pay. I average 50-60 hours a week with peak season over 60+ hour shift. Depends on your hub and the job / runs you cover. There is almost always more overtime if you want it. As with most companies we are seniority based. Your bid / job coverage will be based on seniority. Yes most jobs have some type of shifting you can fall back on. Occasionally you may have to deliver packages. In such a case they would have to train you, and the package side hates that, so they just pay you feeder pay to stay home. So I’ve been told by a few it’s happened too. Be careful of HR, they love to leave things vague and lie to get what they need.
