We were able to get modest increases on shift differentials, call pay and the extra shift bonus.  We are very happy to announce that we were able to negotiate that all year one and year two retro pay will be paid out in full.  Regarding the wage grid, year one will go up by 2.25%, year two will go up 2% and year three will be a wage re-opener.   Be sure to sure check the tentative agreement for more details.  We look forward to talking with you at the Q & A/ratification vote, which we’ll be announcing the details of soon.
