Yup, believe I posted that a few months ago. I read it. And as I say, it depends on the intent and the negotiating notes, which neither I nor you know what they say.
1. It says to Freeze the current rates (LOA 84 rates I believe) effective 5/04 to 12/10.
No it says rates specified in SECTION 3
2. Reduce these rates by 18%.
Correct
Ok.. So at 12/10, these rates would revert to unfrozen....right??? Yup, sounds like it. Now you have to goto LOA 84 to find out what the increases were supposed to be.
Hold on partner. Read this " The rates of pay specified in Section 3 of the Agreement (contract 98), as modified by the Restructuring Agreement (LOA 84), will be revised as follows (LOA 93)" The pay rates of LOA 84 just got swallowed by LOA 93.
3. Next step is, would those increases be from the LOA 84 rates or the LOA 93 rates? Company will say 93, Usapa 84. It gets grieved, it goes to arbitration, etc etc.
Good Luck
The increases from the LOA 84 are year specific
Yes they are and it's not 2007 or 2008 so you missed that didn't you. You also forgot the reduction in those payrates for 2005 that you didn't take.
2005 -5%
2006 0%
2007 2%
2008 2%
So with your logic you owe the company 1% LOL
But within those negotiating notes, one has to wonder if it says in there. Giving temporary relief for pay, freeze the rates and cut by 18% until '10, then rates are lifted.
Either way, if it's simply ther percentage increases which are unfrozen, I find it hard to follow your logic that a capt at TOS would not get an increase if there are 3% yearly increases in there??? TOS would move 3% every year, compounded....
Where is the TOS increases addressed?
