Temporary Cover Driver Lock in Pay

[TheCoverDriver]

I'm a temporary Cover driver hired from street in May 2020. I'm out my 30 day packet of course. My start pay rate was $32.01 and was bumped up 68 cents in August. We have a part-time to full time bid folder sign up that will be remove this Monday December 21, 2020. My questions is if I sign it and go full time is my pay of $32.69 locked/ secured or will my pay drop to $21 hr like every new driver that's full time/ so many people say I should be good, they won't take your pay etc. but honestly I want to play it safe. I'm honestly just want my insurance. But I don't know how long I need to work a TCD/ part time employee to get my insurance. Is it 9 months or a year? I've been getting run-arounds since I started working.

You are locked with that until your progression catches up. It’s nine months for insurance.

What do you mean about progression very curious?

It depends on your supplemental contract. Do you know what local union you are?

It takes you 4 years to make top pay after you turn full time. You will make that until your annual raises catch up to that rate which I think is 4 years anyway. So you will make your tcd rate until you make top pay
