The agreed upon wage rates set forth in Schedule "A" hereof, effective October 27, 2003, October 25, 2004, October 24, 2005 and November 6, 2007 shall remain in effect during the period of this Agreement.

Section 22.2. – New Classification

In the event the University establishes a new job classification within the bargaining unit, in addition to those listed in the attached Schedule “A”, the University will notify the Union, in advance, of the job duties and assigned rate of pay for the position. If the Union wishes to discuss the assigned rate of pay, it will notify the University of such desire within five (5) working days after receipt of the aforesaid notice. If discussion does not result in agreement on the rate of pay for the new position(s) within five (5) working days, the questions as to whether or not the University has assigned a correct rate of pay for the new position(s) shall be referred to arbitration as provided in Article 8. If the arbitrator finds that the University has not set the rate of pay correctly, s/he shall so inform the parties who shall then enter into discussion as to the correct rate of pay. However, it is understood that if the foregoing procedure does not result in agreement within then (10) working days of receipt by the Union of the University’s original notice concerning establishment of such new classification(s), the University may proceed to put the new classification(s) into effect. In such case, the employee(s) placed in the new classification(s) will be informed that the assigned rate of pay is temporary, pending resolution of the discussion between the Union and the University.
