The ratio may vary based on a local supplement.

I was under the impression that TCD's, at least in some regions, do have a wage progression. It's somewhere in the 25/hr range top out.
We don't have them here. If you only drive a few months out of the year not sure how the progression works.

I would think that as long as you are in the classification you would be in progression.
I'm really not sure how that works. Just another way to not create a full time job.

TCD's get credit for hours and days they drive towards progression, so it could last 20 years but you will eventually top out. There's a formula of some kind. I'm too lazy to look it up.

That might be a blessing ,depending on how good or bad the fund is.
No progression in my region but you do make a little more each year as it's based on a % of top rate for full time ground drivers, which increases annually. Whatever that comes out to each year is what all temp drivers make.
Every day as a temp driver banks a day toward full time progression if you're already PT permanent and ever go full time where I am.

Here they hire 4 inside, take one transfer, then hire one off the street. Rinse and repeat. We got rid of TCD's a couple years ago. We had a big hiring spree so it did create a lot more full time positions.

I'm not sure what the "full-time pension" is. Here you either are vested or not, FT PT whatever.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Thanks.

So even though I'm a TCD now, depending on seniority I can go full time if they put up a bid sheet right?
Just to clarify...don't want to be a TCD my entire life no point in that.

You can bid any job you want when ever you want. Whether you get it or not depends on seniority...

...and if you are qualified to bid for the position...
Qualified or not sign the bid sheet if you want the job. Also don't listen to other people telling you not to sign because you'll never get it... Sign Sign Sign they can't stop you from signing the bid. If it got to you they could prevent you from getting the job or they could let you have the job.... You never know sign the every bid you want...

It is a waste of time for all involved to sign a bid sheet for a job that you are clearly not qualified for.
If they don't get anyone qualified to bid they will rebid the position with revised requirements.
The answer is yes.
Your in the union if you want a position you sign the bid for a chance to get the position if you don't sign you have no chance you never know sign the bid. Also it's not a waste of time and if it's cost the HR person a couple minute to determine if your qualified or not well they are doing the job they get paid to do. UPS waste my time everyday with stupid crap that only pads my wallet at $51.54 an hr which is a lot more that the HR person makes...
