Re: Status of Agreement

Date: February 3, 2014

On Friday, January 31, 2014, the members of Local Union 135 passed their Rider. As of now, 89% of all Supplements/Riders have passed, along with the National Master Agreement. Only four Supplements/Riders remain unresolved.

I have heard from many frustrated members asking about when their pay Increases will become effective and when the new language will take effect. Many members are also calling asking about when they will see increased pension benefits and for those currently in TeamCare, there are questions regarding their enhanced benefits and lower out of pocket expenses.

I have been In contact with the Negotiating Committees of the unresolved Supplements/Riders. Hopefully they can resolve their issues quickly so that we can move forward. I will keep you updated.
