Editing § 9.1 NA2022

=== § 9.7 Mail Handler Assistant Employees ===
In addition to the general increases provided in Section 9.1 above, MHAs
will receive an increase of 1.0% annually, for a total of 2.3% effective
November 19, 2022, 2.3% effective November 18, 2023, and 2.3% effec-
tive November 16, 2024.
All percentage increases are applied to the wage rates in effect on Sep-
tember 20, 2022.
In addition, the current MHA rate for Grade 4 and Grade 5 will be
increased by $0.50 effective (PP25-2022) November 19, 2022. Also,
effective no later than the first full pay period 180 days after ratifica-
tion, a new step, Step B, will be added to the MHA wage scale for
Grade 4 and Grade 5. Step B will be $0.50 higher than the Step A rate
for RSC M4 for the respective wage in Grade 4 and Grade 5. The step
waiting period to reach Step B will be 6 months (26 weeks). RSC M4
Step B will remain $0.50 higher than Step A in perpetuity; there will
be no separate calculation for increases applied to this wage rate. Up-
on initial implementation, any MHA in RSC M4 with 6 months (26
weeks) or more of relative standing will move to Step B.
