The ratified Agreement is proposed to the individual Cities listed above for their approval. The Agreement is, in the opinion of the MAMA Negotiating Committee, consistent with the individual Cities' efforts to comply with the State's 1984 Comparable Worth Law. The Agreement should also be of assistance to the individual Cities in meeting their statutory comparable worth goals and helpful in their bargaining and /or arbitration efforts with other male- dominated employee groups. The Agreement is as follows: MAMA -49 JOINT August 31, 1988 NEGOTIATIONS CITIES ' 1.

The Maintenance 1 1987 starting rate should be raised by 3.58 unless such an increase would place the rate above the City's 1108 "all jobs" pay line.

Wage Rates for 1989 The base rate for all job classification should be raised by 1.58 effective the first payroll period in January, 1989, and all employees should be paid a lump sum payment for all hours the employees would be normally scheduled to work (excluding overtime hours) equal to 28 of the ' employee's base pay rate.
