SECTION 3: RATIFICATION
Proposed collective bargaining agreements that result from negotiations undertaken pursuant to Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act and the duration clause of the current collective bargaining agreement or if no such collective bargaining agreement exists, that resolve all Section 6 issues, and that have been approved by the MEC, shall be subject to member ratification.
In addition, the MEC will seek membership ratification of other proposed agreements or Letters of Agreement which modify contractual pay or that significantly modify work rules.
modify contractual pay. Not just pay rates. And it doesn’t have to be significant. Any pay to contractual pay.
