The following charts show the Group floor rates, over time and how they have changed. These are the minimum rates for each group. These Group Rates are listed in Section A14.5 of the NABET-CWA-ABC Master Agreement.
There is also a section below that shows how the benefits have changed over time, and another section showing Travel pay and benefits on travel days.
Note that sandwich days are paid as 8 hours of your day rate (the previous day). These hours are considered labor and get the respective benefits.
(When on a mobile device, the following may be easier to read by turning phone sideways.)
