Contract Rate Increases Kick in Sunday

Next week we enter the second year of our three-year collective bargaining agreement, and effective this Sunday (July 29) the wage minimums at Guild shops will increase by three percent.

Remember: the increase in minimums doesn't affect your actual rate of pay unless you are being paid at scale or at less than the new rate.

If you have been in your job category for more than a year and you are paid at less than these rates, your Guild shop employer should raise your rate of pay automatically. If they do not, contact the Guild.

Here are a few of the new journey minimums.

(For a complete list of the new rates, check TAG's contract book or the Guild's website, or call the Guild office at (818) 766-7151.)

We should have added that all the weekly minimums shown are based on a forty-hour week.
