PUBLISHED TO PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE OF ALL ENGINEERS AND THEIR FAMILIES • Wage Agreement GUAM, WHERE AMERICA'S DAY BEGINS HAWAII, THE 50T H STATE NORTHERN CAliFORNIA, THE GOLDEN STATE NORTHERN N EVADA, SILVER STATE UTAH. HEART OF THE ROCKIES One of the best Technical Engineer Master Agreements ever ne 1, ,.· gotiated went on the books this month following ratification by members of Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3, International Union of Vol. 27-No. 8 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA ~® August, 1968 Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO. The new agreement will cover mem bers working in the forty-six Northern California counties and Northern Nevada. International Vice President and Local 3 Business Manager AI Clem said the new contract went into effect the 1st of August, 1968 and would expire on the 15th of June, 1971. Mr. Clem said he felt both signatories, Bay Counties Civil Engineers & Land Surveyors Associa tion, Inc. and the union, had worked hard to hammer out a, fair Master Agreement. "We are satisfied that this is a contract that both the union and the employer can live with," said Clem, "and our main objective now is to • advocate at every level of government and industry the need for non stop construction programs that will keep our .economy moving ahead and provide jobs for all our members." Local 3 President Paul Edgecombe worked diligently and on a very short deadline to gain current coverage for the city and county person nel working within the jurisdiction of the new technical agreement. Edgecombe's last minute efforts (he had twenty.minutes left for inclu sion of the new wages in the annual budget) gained a maximum increase in wages and fringes for some $950.00 annually. . , · The new Master Agreement will provide a wage increase of approxi mately seven-a:nd-half percent (7J~ %) average per year plus sixty-five cents ($0.65) fringe benefits plus vacation pay, previously based on straight hour computation, will now be based on· gross annual earnings under the new agreement and can boost this f1inge benefit dramatically. For example: By the end of this contract a Party Chief with the reason able average of 100 hours oveltime would gain $298 of vacation pay •• more than in the previous contract. Other highlights of the Master Agreement include acceptance of the "test qualifying pl:()cedur!:t ratified. by the membership in February andoih:oviding pi·otection fbr the present labor pool. . . .2.07 NON-DISCRIMINATION.
