IBEW Local 1245 and PG&E on May 7 reached agreement in Diablo Canyon firefighter negotiations for increased wages. The agreement provides for a skills premium of an additional 4% over present wages, applied to everything.
The 4% premium will kick in for present incumbents with a lump sum payment retroactive from signature date until SAP payroll can apply it appropriately. New hires or bidders into the department will have two years to get the appropriate skills at which point the 4% will kick in for them.
