Agreement term: 07/01/2022 - 06/30/2025.
Bargained with Califon EA.
The agreement is on file at PERC as a scan with no text layer. The guide was read off the scanned page and every figure was then checked against the page as rendered.
The agreement labels this guide 2024-25. A multi-year agreement prints one guide per year of its term; a successor agreement may already be in force locally.
The guide prints a step 0 line above step 1 with no figures in any column; it is not reproduced here.
Several steps are frozen pairs on this guide and are printed as single lines: 6-7, 12-13, 14-15 and 16-17.
The agreement prints one guide per year of the 2022-2025 term; this is Year 3, 2024-25.
