The CPI-W must rise above 644.303 before another COLA is due. After the fifth month of the six-month measuring period, and assuming the next COLA were based on the December CPI-W, the 7th COLA under the 2006 National Agreement and the Operating Services Agreement would be zero. However, the 7th COLA will be based on the Janary 2010 CPI-W index and will be effective March 13, 2010 (pay period 07-10, pay date April 2, 2010). http://www.apwu.org/dept/ind-rel/irpayinfo.htm Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:08:03 GMT Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:08:03 GMT http://www.apwu.org/dept/ind-rel/irpayinfo.htm --> (01/20/10) To assist APWU locals and state organizations as they prepare for their state conventions and the national convention, the Industrial Relations Department has compiled a book of Previously Adopted Labor Management Resolutions.
