Any new conductors have the newest yearly raise break down from starting pay to top pay? I see there's a couple ppl in school car now, did you guys get your paper they usually give at 180 or at orientation with the new break down? If so, can you write what the new break down is per year? What are the numbers in btwn $25.05(Starting pay) and $35.79(Top pay) per year?

This may assist you in getting what you are looking for.

I have that from TWU, but those are all Top pay charts from contract agreement raises. But it doesnt show how you will get from Starting pay to Top pay.

Since the raises took affect from the contract, the new hires get a new sheet showing their yearly increments from starting pay ($25.05) to Top pay ($35.79).

 

So for example... the sheet will show year one $25.05, Year two $26.72, year three $27.10, and so on until u reach Top pay. 

 

They usually give that to you either when u swear in or at orientation. Alot of folks get alot of paper work given to them that they don't notice they have that paper.

Top pay 35.79 geez.

 

Yes thats the top pay for Conductors right now, with yearly percentage raises since the new contract was approved. May 16 2023 we got a 3% raise (Based on your hourly wage). Next May 2024 another 3%, then May of 2025 we get a 3.5% raise topping out at $38.15, then we head over to fight for new contract raises. For us thats been down here we believe we deserve a lil more, but for new hires it may be a good look.

Okay, you're infact looking for a wage progression chart. While postings for jobs will show the progression chart, if there's been no recent posting it might not be easily accessible to grab. I would suspect the progression will mirror the breakdowns of most twu repped positions. 70% $25.05 of $35.79. This will be just math if you know the time period to 100% and the percentage increase on the progression. But yeah, some job postings do offer the charts up front

Yes, fill out and print the Pre-employment Packet. Any other forms you might be missing and the people at 180 Livingston will make sure to correct that.

I’ll be there next Friday as well. I’m going to print the papers out tomorrow & full them out properly. I think the only thing I’m going to have to try and get asap is the DMV abstract. My license completes 3 years in NJ. And I believe I still need to provide that info

You don't need an email. They tell you if you pass medical  or you are on medical hold on the same day and also tell you that you are hired if you pass medical.

I’m in the final weeks of school car myself, and like the others said it will make you question your decision. There’s a lot to learn in a short amount of time and everything is new. Your schedule will bounce around a bit, mostly just 3-11pm , early 7-3 some days, and 5pm-1am other days. Depending what was your previous job it can take some adjusting too. You’ll be expected to come prepared for class, so do your readings at night if you can or on your way to class.

I’m on my second day of orientation but I wanted to know, how many weeks is school car? When did you get your ID ? And when did you find out what division you’re in ?

6 weeks if you’re in the A division, about 8 weeks in the B division. You should be getting your ID today at the union hall. You find out your division the Thursday or Friday(I think Friday). You pick the one that you want and as long as it’s open you’ll get it.

Thank you, I didn’t even know we got to choose 🙏🏽

Yes but keep in mind if you want the B division, there may be a chance you won’t get it if you’re at or near the bottom of the seniority list. Most people want the B division so it ends up being full. Some people have no choice but to be in the A division.
