“Me-too” Agreement. The parties agree that any agreements reached with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) regarding Hospitalization and Medical Care (Section 17), Dental Care (Section 18), and/or Vision Care (Section 19) shall be extended to this Memorandum of Understanding. The intent of this paragraph is to memorialize a “me-too” agreement regarding medical, dental and vision benefits changes entered into with AFSCME.
“Me-too” Agreement. Any agreements reached with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) regarding Hospitalization and Medical Care (Section 21), Dental Care (Section 22), and/or Vision Care (Section 23) shall be extended to this Memorandum of Understanding. The intent of this paragraph is to memorialize a “me-too” agreement regarding medical, dental and vision benefit changes entered into with AFSCME.
“Me-too” Agreement. If the district reaches a final, ratified agreement with MDEA which provides for an across-the-board salary schedule increase (or increase in district medical benefits contribution) in excess of the increase given to Teamsters, then Teamster bargaining unit members will receive the same percentage salary (or medical benefits) increase for the same school years (as a "me too") with the same effective date for Teamsters unit members as of the date of ratification. Salary and medical benefits are defined solely as annual base, salary and medical benefits. If a challenge is made to any District calculations, the parties shall promptly meet to discuss the difference between them and attempt to reach resolution. If no resolution is reached, Teamsters may file a grievance (and no salary or benefit adjustment will be made pending the resolution of the grievance). Only the Teamsters unit may grieve an alleged violation of this agreement or any of its provisions. No individual unit member may grieve or file any claim concerning an alleged violation of this "me too" agreement or any of its provisions. The right of individuals to file such claims will be deemed expressly waived by the ratification of this agreement by the bargaining unit. This agreement excludes any reclassification or reorganization of any other units, and does not encompass any compensation increase for any District employees other than increases in base salary and base medical benefits as specifically identified above as part of successor or reopener contract negotiations with other units. For example, an agreement regarding class sizes, or work year calendar days, or changes to individual positions in other units (e.g. changes to some positions due to minimum wage changes), or agreements outside of successor or reopener negotiations with other units, which arguably impact compensation, will not trigger any obligation under this Agreement. Such changes in working conditions or compensation items other than annual base, salary and medical benefits, or those negotiated by other District employees, do not create any District obligation under this Agreement. This "me too" agreement shall be considered a part of the agreement and applies for the 2020-2023 contract term only and expires at the end of the Teamsters contract term.
