Q: Can you explain what happened with the section addendums?
One of the goals of this round of negotiations was to incorporate as many parts of the addendums into the actual contract sections as possible. Some things only lived in the addendum (e.g., pay for drug/alcohol testing). Other portions of the addendum just restated or clarified provisions – these were easily incorporated.
A few tables and examples remain in the addendum, as well as explanations for complex provisions. Otherwise, the majority have been incorporated into the section body.
