In the first year of the contract, Fiscal Year 2012, the employees will receive no pay

We have reached a three year agreement with the International Union of Operating

the agreement are as follows:
Effective July 1, 2011
ARTICLE XXXI — HOLIDAYS
Add Martin Luther King's Birthday (third Monday in January) to the
Holiday Schedule.
Effective July 1, 2012
ARTICLE XXII — SICK LEAVE
Delete all of Section 2 and the third paragraph of Section 4 and insert the
following:
Any unused portion of sick leave shall accumulate from fiscal year to fiscal year
to a maximum of one - hundred twenty (120) sick days (960 sick leave hours).
Employees will be paid 100% of accrued sick leave at retirement. Payment will
be based on the employee's regular (straight time /base) rate of pay at retirement.
Payment will be made bi- weekly over a five year period. In order for a retiring
employee to be eligible for such payment, he /she shall have completed twenty
(20) years of continuous service in a full time position or retired as a result of a
disability and must be eligible for pension payments from the Iowa Public
Employees' Retirement System immediately upon retirement. In the event a
retired employee dies before all of the unused sick leave is paid, such payment
will cease at the time of the retired employee's death.
ARTICLE XXXIX — WAGE PLAN

30, 2012, shall be increased by 2.5% across the board.
