Update on Contract - CIR Decision

Brothers and Sisters,

I am pleased to report that we have received the Preliminary Decision back from CIR regarding our contract. Council has awarded us an incredible 18.9% increase over 3 years, including an increase in our pension.

Of immediate note:

Effective March 1, 2026, the JIW wage rate will be $40.65.  All other classifications will be paid according to their percentage of this rate.  Additionally, all classifications will earn a $0.50 per hour contribution to their NEBF under the National Electrical Individual Benefit (NEIB).

I will present the full details of the new agreement at our meeting on March 10, 2026.
