- Article 8 – Seniority, Yellow and Purple books
- Article 13 – Grievance Procedure, Yellow and Purple books
- Article 16 – General and Miscellaneous, Yellow and Purple books
- Article 18 – Union Security, Yellow and Purple books
- Article 20 – Severance, Purple book

- Schedule A – Rates of Pay, Yellow and Purple books
- Schedule A – Premiums, Yellow book
- Appendix J – Pension, Yellow and Purple books

We reached tentative agreements on Articles 8 and 16.
The Company is currently analyzing the remaining articles, including the cost of our economic proposals.
