Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Effective October 5, 2018 any employees at or below the rate range maximum (Table 1) or Single Rate (Table 2) in effect for their classification will have their base rates increased by Section 4.c. and then by application of a three (3%) percent GWI. An employee cannot exceed the maximum of their rate range or Single Rate upon application of a GWI and if applicable, will receive the remaining amount of the GWI in a lump sum payment. Employees who are above the rate range maximum will receive a four (4%) percent lump in lieu of any GWI.
In addition, there will be a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for this quarter of $0.10 effective October 5, 2018. The current maximum COLA amount for this unit is $0.42.

Lastly, Local 1069 and Ameriprise invites all members to join us for a special seminar, Investing for The Life You Deserve hosted by Lyndsey M. Berry with Ameriprise Financial. This seminar will be presented Wednesday, October 24, 2018 at your union hall. There will be 2 separate sessions on this date: 12:30 PM and 3:00 PM.
