Re: Field Trip Pay Arbitration
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I’m pleased to report that today we settled the upcoming arbitration over when the time and three quarters, commonly referred to as 1.75, begins and ends. The settlement captures what we bargained, which is pay begins one hour before a trip starts to gather necessary tooling and stops one hour after a trip ends domestically for paperwork. For international trips it is two hours on either side. I’d like to offer my thanks to Director Joe Ferreira who was a huge help in getting this grievance taken care of.
In solidarity,
