INDEX
References for listings in the index are to articles and sections in the collective bargaining agreement; for instance, “19.10” refers to Article 19, section 10. The abbreviation “App.” refers to appendices to the agreement. A number of terms—notably APC, CSU, President, appropriate administrator and employee—appear too frequently in the agreement for every reference to be included in the index; for these terms, therefore, only selected references have been included.
