Profit Sharing is paid directly annually and is a percentage of salary as I understand it. To be eligible one must have been employed for ALL of the previous year, so those hired in January 2013 won't get PS until 2015.
Can't predict what may be a priority for improvement, at least not from my vantage point.

A better example, hired Oct '12, you will get profit sharing for Nov '13 and Dec '13 pay in the 2014 distribution of 2013 profit sharing.

I did not mean to mislead, only sharing as I understood from the explanation we were given. I appreciate the clarification.
Unfortunately, if I now understand correctly it is even worse. If hired Feb. 2013, PS would be first paid in 2015, but NOT for all of 2014, just March to December, the months following one full year of service?

In your example, hired Feb 2013, you would begin profit sharing March 2014 and receive first distribution on or before April 2015 (for your March 2014 - Dec 2014 employment).

When in doubt, do some research. The Plan (2008) is available on the union website.
"An eligible employee will participate in the plan starting on the first month following his or her one year anniversary as a full time employee."

Only those of us on the inside will get it, but that is a good one.
If only our brothers and sisters would fly the junky contract...
