Technician Agreement

The tech program has been part of our organization for decades, however, few details of this program are in the contract. Most aspects of those jobs were handled by past practices and subject to changes at anytime. In 2014, President Mannion was able to secure a written letter detailing a pay increase and a separate vacation list for technicians. This was possible by using the time claim process at the local level. That time claim changed an old "shake hands" agreement into policy. A policy that guarantees a $1.00 increase over the base rate for techs now and in perpetuity, and doubled the number of peak vacation weeks available to our members.
