Comparability Table Survey
In conjunction with contract negotiations, A&R is reviewing the current Comparability tables referenced in Article 13, section 4(b) of our contract. Comparability tables are used during layoffs to provide affected members increased employment opportunities. A comparable class must have the same pre-requisites and training to be considered comparable.

The Health Insurance Open Enrollment period continues through June 3, 2016.
This is the time of year to review your current health/dental insurance plan and make adjustments. Other than "life" changes, the health plan you select will remain your plan until the next open enrollment period in 2017. Please ensure that you are only covering qualified individuals on your health insurance, if a dependent or former spouse needs to be removed, please do so.
