ATPAM members working under the Off-Broadway Minimum Basic
Agreement and agreements referenced to that contract will receive increases
effective July 1, 2002. Increases will affect vacation pay as well as Pension,
Welfare, and Annuity. Manager and Press Agent scales increase at different
rates. The Press Agent rates are directly pegged to the CPI for New York and
Northern New Jersey, which are released for the period ended May 31, 2002. It
is unlikely that the CPI will exceed the threshold in the COLA provision for
Managers this year that provides for an additional increase in such a case. As
soon as those numbers are available, the rate sheet will be updated and posted
on the Unions web site in the Members Only document library.
The July 1, 2002 wage increases will also mean increases in
Pension, Health, and Annuity contribution rates. Please note that the working
dues percentage of 3.25% will remain unchanged.
If you have any questions, please contact Tito Sanchez
tsanchez@atpam.com. Rate charts
can be found in the MEMBERS ONLY document section.
