Left YRC 2 1/2 yrs ago, new gig has went sour. Interviewed with Holland TM for city job. I was under impression that I'd come in at 90% go to 100% (85%!!! after give back) after 1yr. TM said he thought it only applied to laid off employees of commonly owned NMFA company. Looking at contract I found on the web, Article 3, section 2, (a),(3)Probationary employees shall be paid at the new hire rate of pay during the probationary period; however, if the employee is terminated by the Employer during such period, he/she shallbe compensated at the full contract rate of pay for all hours worked retroactive to the first (1st) day worked in such period.
CDL-qualified employees hired into driving positions who are not currently on the seniority list at an NMFA carrier and who for two (2) or more years regularly performed CDL-required driving work for a commonly-owned NMFA carrier shall be compensated at 90% of the full contract rate of pay for a period of one (1) year and go to the full contractual rate thereafter, provided they have not had a break in service in excess of three (3) years. The same language is used again under the section titled National Economic Settlement, Full-time new hire wage progression and casual rates. Anyone clarify??? Thanks

You say you left yrc 2 1/2 years ago. Were you laid off or did you quit? If you were laid off then you should come in at 90%. I would keep my mouth shut until after probation and then file for the pay upgrade. If you quit yrc you may not have a gripe but I would still grieve it after probation and see what happens.
 
If you move from YRC or Holland to ABf or UPs do you go to 85% or 90%? The wording "commonly owned carrier" in article 36 is sort of vague. Broiler peddle u probably have the answer.
 
I have my time in, now the BA says that the language about less than a 3 yr break in service has been removed in an addendum or MOU, I did quit YRC 8/09, but the language in article 36 reads right into my situation, I was not currently on a seniority list, worked YRC more than 2 yrs, and had less than a three year break in service. I found an MOU from 9/2010 YRC restructuring plan, this was when they took the week of vacation away. It says new hire rates at 85%, doesn't mention anything about ex YRC employees, and I know of 4 personally in MI that have came on recently, 2 were laid off, 2 quit to move over, all came in at 90%. Anyone know of an addendum or MOU specifically ruling this out? My ex BA was at state hearings and asked about it, everyone agreed that they haven't heard of the 90% not being applied but nobody has dealt with my issue and weren't aware of any language change. To clarify I worked YRC in MI and now Holland IN.
