Dear Sisters and Brothers:
With the announcement of the Tentative Agreement (TA) on June 2, 2023, we understand everyone’s appetite to start seeing the details, and you have made it clear to your committee that wage rates are one of the most important details for you in this Tentative Agreement.
Accompanying this bulletin is the TA Rate Chart showing the increases to current wages with notes explaining some changes to the wage scale. In addition, there is an example page for everyone to be able to quickly find a corresponding number for their gross wages in the preceding 12 months prior to the date of ratification (DOR). In that we do not yet know the specific date, you should still be able to make a pretty good assumption until we do.
Work will continue on the completion and review of a redline tentative agreement document so that we can get it released as soon as possible. Additional details will be released this coming week concerning the release date of the redline document and the future ratification schedule.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please reach out to your negotiating committee members or your General Chairperson, James M. Samuel, at or (859) 653-4037, for additional help or information. Thank you for your patience and commitment. With best wishes, we remain
Sincerely and fraternally,
John M. Coveny, Jr.
President/Directing General Chair
James M. Samuel
