I remember during the pay vote that they were saying that the company and SAPA would meet yearly and could raise year 1 pay without modifying the rest of the contract.
If you read section 8, at first it seems to give the company and SAPA carte blanche for first year pay, but then later it seems to limit it to $36.50 and it has to be done prior to mid 2018. Just like the rest of our "contract" Full of vague language that is open to interpretation that always seems to fall in favor of the company.
On a side note, it is pretty hard to read the pay proposal now and see how they have manipulated the loose language regarding MRS. There were some of us who could see that it wasn't going to do anything, but pretty disheartening to look back now and see how there was nothing in there that would help reserve levels. But it was sold to us that the company would have this big financial penalty if they didn't staff each domicile properly.
