I believe the raise was 1% plus a step. I got 19 cents an hour, or about 7 bucks a week before taxes.
The step increase should be a little more but you don't get it until your anniversary date, which for me is next May.
I voluntarily gave up the 35 hour guarantee because there was some shit required that I wasn't willing to do.
Yeah, they like to cut hours but all you have to do is listen to the radio to get extra hours. Or tell all the drivers you know that you will do their garage trips for them. Lots of drivers hate taking their buses in for service, especially Newington or Alban since they almost never have spare buses.
About asking supervisors, that's a joke. Most of them don't take phone calls and if they do it's like talking to the wall. Besides, they're quitting right and left where I'm at.
