Progression is gone in new contract. You go right to top pay. Spread the word.
Progression changes

Some places take that long to go full time. Mines a little over 10 here.
Almost nobody here in the inside wants to go driving. And when they do go driving ,they quickly change their mind.

That was the first opportunity that I got and it was because the person in front of me failed class so I was sent the following class or else I would have waited another year, there are people in my center that had to wait 14 and 15 years for a chance to go to class and qualify. Anyone that’s been there knows that preloading or local sort for that long deserves some kind of credit so it’s a legit thing to wonder about progression changes
It's a two year on the new lower paying driving jobs. Haven't heard anything on the regular driving jobs progression
Hope it works out for you.

You're not the first person to say that either. That's so strange to me. I'd say 90% of the PT workers here want to drive.

Took me 10.5 to get offered full time. I didn't go out driving until I did, couldn't give up the second job without the 5 day guarantee. But behind me there is a giant gap in the work force. Seems to be ok down to about 8/9 years, then everyone else is 1.5 or less. None of the new people want to drive, they see what we go thru from the inside and it scares the crap out of them!!

Bit they did.
Significant increases to the full-time progression rates
That the 1st sentence talking about fulltimers.

No, I would rather have been offered full time after three years (which is what the wait time was when I got hired, then 2008 happened), and only had a 3 year progression. Instead I wasn't offered full time until almost 7 years and had a 4 year progression
The guys hired as drivers just 2 years before me will have made around 30k more in their first four years than I will have. Why didn't they have to put in their time? I know, it's just luck of the draw. If new hires only have a two or three year progression, it'll be the same story, they won't have had to put in their time like I did, so don't tell me I haven't put my time in.
Except people hired before me, and possibly after, will have a shorter term pain and a larger reward. Not exactly fair when you do the same work.
I recommended this to my BA to try to get something in the master negotiations, don't think it made it that far. Minimum 2 year progression, with a 1/2 year knocked off for every year you've worked for the company, and some sort of better deal for air drivers.

None of the part timers in my center want to go full time. Like they can even keep the part timers around. The wait is literally nothing. No wait. They have been hiring off the street.
Took me two years but now the wait is nothing. And for 1.5 if those years I was TCD and drive almost every day anyway. Would have been nice to get that 1.5 years added to my progression. We don't have any TCD now. How could they hire a utility guy when they can't even hire enough cover drivers?

Some places do have a ridiculous wait time.

I should add that I don't have a problem with a 4 year progression for outside hires/ inside hires who've worked for UPS less than a year. Anyone who has put in some time on the inside should have that count for something when going ground.
We had a shorter progression when I started but my inside time didn't mean Jack crap.
