COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT
(1.) In addition to the base rate of pay of each employee, a
Cost-of-Living (COL) Adjustment shall be paid to each employee
in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(2.)(a) Effective January 3, 2009, the current cumulative
Cost-of-Living Adjustment payable on that date (including the
amount effective on that date) shall be added to the maximums
and minimums of the rate ranges in Article VIII, Section
2.
(b) Effective January 2, 2010, the difference between the
current cumulative Cost-of-Living Adjustment, and such previous
adjustment as set forth in Subsection 2(a), if any, payable on
that date (including the amount effective on that date) shall be
added to the maximums and minimums of the rate ranges in Article
VIII., Section 2.
(c) Effective January 8, 2011, the difference between the
current cumulative Cost-of-Living Adjustment, and such previous
adjustment as set forth in Subsection 2(b), if any, payable on
that date (including the amount effective on that date) shall be
added to the maximums and minimums of the rate ranges in Article
VIII., Section 2.
On each of the above dates, the employee's base rate will
increase by the amount of COL being received by that employee on
that date.
Employees hired after the date upon which the COLA is folded
into the base rate shall be eligible for only that COLA which
becomes effective after their date of hire.
(3.) The Cost-of-Living Adjustment, if any, shall be
determined in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price
Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, (CPI-W),
(United States City Average-All Items, 1982-1984 = 100), revised
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics based on the 1982-1984 Survey
of Consumer Expenditures, and published monthly by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, and hereinafter
referred to as the "Price Index".
(4.) During the period of the Agreement, COL
Adjustments shall be made at the following times:
Effective Date of Based Upon Three-Month
Average
Adjustment of The Price Indexes For:
Pay Period
commencing on:
July 5, 2008 March 2008, April, May,
October 4, 2008 June, July, August
January 3, 2009 September, October, November
April 4, 2009 Dec. 2008, January 2009,February,
July 4, 2009 March, April, May
October 3, 2009 June, July, August
January 2, 2010 September, October, November
April 3, 2010 Dec. 2009, January 2010, February,
July 3, 2010 March, April, May
October 2, 2010 June, July, August
January 8, 2011 September, October, November
In determining the three-month average of the Indexes
for each specified period, the computed average shall be
rounded to the nearest 0.1 Index Point.
(5.) Effective the payroll period commencing July 5,
2008 the Cost-of-Living Adjustment factor shall be
determined in accordance with the following table:
Three Month Average
BLS Consumer Price Index COL Adjustment Factor
206.7 and Below* 0
206.8 – 207.0 $.01 Per Hour
207.1 – 207.3 .02
207.4 – 207.6 .03
207.7 – 207.9 .04
208.0 – 208.2 .05
208.3 – 208.5 .06
208.6 – 208.8 .07
208.9 – 209.1 .08
209.2 – 209.4 .09
209.5 – 209.7 .10
*The January 2008 Index is forecast to be 206.7. Should the
actual index differ, an adjustment to the table above will be
necessary to reflect the actual index number.
And so forth with $.01 for 0.3 point change in the Average
Index for the appropriate date set forth in Paragraph 4 above.
(6.) The amount of any COL Adjustment in effect at the time
shall be included for all hours worked after the effective date
of the adjustment and in computing overtime payments, vacation
and sick leave payments, pay for unused sick and injury leave,
military leave, holiday, jury duty, jury examination and witness
payments, and for no other purpose.
(7.) In the event that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),
United States Department of Labor, discontinues publication of
the Price Index described in Paragraph (3) above, the Company
and the Union shall enter into immediate negotiations to
determine the appropriate index to be used. The purpose of these
negotiations shall be to insure that the payments to be made
under this Article will be as intended by the parties and shall
be no less than that which would have occurred had the Price
Index been continued unchanged in its present form. In the event
the parties are unable to agree within sixty (60) days of the
discontinuance of the Price Index, this dispute shall be
submitted to final and binding arbitration as provided for in
the Agreement. The Cost-of-Living Adjustment, if any, shall be
retroactive to the appropriate effective date.
(8.) In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not
issue the appropriate Price Indexes on or before the beginning
of one of the pay periods referred to in Paragraph (4), any
adjustment in the COL Adjustment required by such appropriate
Indexes shall be effective at the beginning of the first pay
period after receipt of the Indexes.
(9.) No adjustment, retroactive or otherwise, shall be made
due to any revision which may later be made in the published
figures for the Price Index for any month or months specified in
Paragraph (4).
Supplemental COLA
A supplemental cost of living payment of $800 will be
paid on or before December 19, 2008 to each employee on the
active payroll or approved leave of absence of less than one
year on December 6, 2008.

employee on the active payroll or approved leave of absence of
less than one year on December 4, 2010.
The entire Supplemental COLA Payment may be deferred to the
Hourly Savings Plan Plus (401K) upon completion of the
appropriate form.
