The current furlough program will be extended, and additional furlough <br /> hours added, to equal 322 unpaid furlough hours from the commencement of this agreement <br /> through June 30, 2013.

Effective June 1, 2012, Union members who have continuously received "lead" <br /> assignment pay for five or more years shall have their job title modified to include the word "Lead" <br /> in order to formalize the lead assignment and codify the assignment pay as part of the regular <br /> monthly salary. <br /> <br /> Medical Retirement Subsidy Plan.
