Full scale in 1989 was 15.50 so I doubt it.

 

[oldngray]

Early 80's it was 14.21. It didn't go up much for several years.

When I started off the street in Oct. of 1975 I was making 5.30 an hour. I made seniority Jan. of 1976.
Then it took me 30 days to make top rate. REPEAT. 30 DAYS TO MAKE TOP RATE. Yes I hate wage
progression. One of the biggest Teamster give aways ever. Anyway top rate was 5.89 an hour.

Every driver I talk to says full scale driver pay has kept up with inflation and that's about it.

When I went FT in 1977, I started at $7.41, made top rate, $8.41, either 30 or 90 days later, can't remember which.

@BigUnionGuy can answer any and all contract related questions that you may have.

I would imagine the Union hall will have all back copies.

Yes I do.

But, when people on this forum want to insult me....

I really don't feel like helping them out.
