As a street hire feeder driver that hired under the current contract, I know there is a 4 year progression for hourly jobs. However, according to article 43, sec. 2, part 11, a mileage or sleeper run should be paid at top rate after seniority date + 3 years. I know it would be rare for a driver in progression to run a mileage job, but in my hub it can and does happen. Could someone enlighten me on this issue, or am I reading the contract wrong? I work in the under the central supplement and haven't seen anything that contradicts the info below.
(11) Employees entering a job paid on mileage between the date of
ratification and August 1, 2008 will continue to be paid in accordance
with the provisions of the prior Agreement.
All employees entering after August 1, 2008, a job classification
paid on a mileage rate, who have not yet completed a full-time progression,
shall be paid a progression rate equal to the following:
