The new contract, if ratified, will not go into effect until July 1. However, the new job grading system and a number of new job titles go into effect on April 16. It will replace the existing job grades 2 through 10 with grades 47U through 55U so that HUCTW jobs will become part of one continuous classification system ranging from 47 to 64. Job grades for current employees will be mapped to the new numbering system as indicated in the chart above.
