HX Wage & Benefit Agreement Ratified (October/2010)
With a more than 50% voter turnout, health care professionals (HX) ratified a wage and benefit agreement  with 90% voting ‘yes.’ Nearly 100 joined UPTE during the ratification process to participate in the vote.

The agreement provides a 2% raise for everyone effective immediately and step increases for those eligible in January. Employees at the top of the pay scale will receive a 2% lump-sum cash payout instead of a step. In addition, many employees will receive equity increases depending on their work location and job titles. For the first time, UC will now have to discuss all equity increases with UPTE prior to implementing.

By April 1 of next year, the HX unit will have the opportunity to decide on paying 1.5% into the pension plan in return for an additional 1% raises and a step increase (lump sum for those at top of their pay scale). If we accept this portion of the agreement the contract will be extended until December 31, 2011 and if we do not, the contract will retain the current expiration date of
June 30, 2011.
