Do I get the GWI?

[GodlikeRage]

As formerly a TCD (Cover Driver) that transitioned to full time 22.4, my rate was 85% of the previous top rate. At $35.27 an hour, my rate exceeded all 4 years of progression of a 22.4 from the jump. They say we get GWI in progression so does that apply to me also?

You get 85% of the GWI as best as I can remember.

That's the only good thing about the TCD language, you stay at 85% through progression.

It normally would but the west only gets 75% and to make it fair the IBT decided to not give you the GWI because you already make more then others.


To my knowledge if you're in progression at the time of ratification you get the raises. So yes you'd get $2.75

Transitioned? Sounds…….never mind, you’ll get 85% which is 2.34 I think

I have a few friends in the same boat. I told them it could go either way but the language does say ALL employees get $2.75.

A TCD will only get 85%. As a FT package car driver, which is what you are now, you will get the full GWI.

He’s red circled until he hits top pay, 85%. I’ve been going through it with the cola raises

You're red circled at your rate until a new contract is ratified. Read the first section of article 41.

So would they get $2.75 on top of their 85% or would they take a pay cut and be slotted into what the rate is for whatever year of progression they’re in?

Their rate should've been frozen at 85% of whatever top rate was at the time they went FT. If progression caught them then they would get the higher rate. Now they get the GWI like the rest of us, nothing more, nothing less.

Ok so they’re still red circled until they’re finished with progression but will receive the full GWI.

Example: The guy I’ve been coaching is red circled at 85% and is in his final year of progression. His rate as of July 31st is $35.36. So with the GWI his new rate will be $38.11.

If this is the case then I’ve been telling him the right thing but if I’m wrong I would like to correct myself.

That's because you were a TCD when the last contract went into effect so you were not in progression. He is in progression as a 22.4 but red circled at his TCD rate. Now that the new contract passed per this language he will receive the GWIs during his progression but yes he will not receive COLA per the contract.

He’s red circled at 85%, he will never make more then that. He’s not in a true progression. So if you are correct, next year raise he would get less to put him back to 85%

I thought he said he went TCD to 22.4 (now RPCD)? If that’s true then he is in progression and red circled since he came in as a cover driver.

If I’m reading the contract right, he will get 100% of the GWI’s immediately and top rate when he finishes progression.

That’s not how it work, if he is in year 1 of progression, he would get the year 1 rate plus the gwi or 85% of top rate, whichever is higher. I wish you was correct though

Any other contract I would agree with you 100% and you may even be right currently. This new contract says every employee even in progression gets these GWI’s. It does not specify those locked in at 85% don’t get it. We will have to wait and see.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Every contract reads that way since I've been here, just updated for the year. He will get the GWI.

In that case, UPS owes me a lot of money.
