The parties agree to make a good faith effort to resolve all outstanding job classifications<br />
stemming from the 2009 contract negotiations within ninety days <strong>of</strong> the ratification <strong>of</strong> the<br />
agreement. In the event that the parties cannot reach agreement, the remaining<br />
classifications can be submitted to interest arbitration with an arbitrator selected<br />
according to the grievance procedure <strong>of</strong> the Agreement.<br />
Compensation Rate Review:<br />
The Union and the Employers agree that it is in their best interest to recruit and retain<br />
qualified experienced staff. To this end, in January <strong>of</strong> each year (except the year the<br />
contract expires) each party may initiate and discuss specific job classification(s) possibly<br />
requiring a wage increase.<br />
Wage data used by the Employers and/or Union in identifying such classifications shall<br />
be data reflecting wage rates in the appropriate geographic market for similarly situated<br />
job classifications. Either party may request the assistance <strong>of</strong> a mutually agreed to neutral<br />
third party mediator to assist in the wage review process.<br />
If the parties cannot immediately agree on the selection <strong>of</strong> the third party, a neutral third<br />
party shall be selected following the process set forth in the grievance and arbitration<br />
section <strong>of</strong> the contract.<br />

worked), with the exception <strong>of</strong> St. Francis Medical Center service and maintenance who<br />
will receive a lump-sum payment as follows: $500 for employees who, as <strong>of</strong> the date <strong>of</strong><br />
the ratification <strong>of</strong> the contract, are on active full-time status; and $250 for employees<br />
who, as <strong>of</strong> the date <strong>of</strong> ratification <strong>of</strong> the contract, are on active part-time status or are<br />
