Contract Negotiations

Negotiations Update - 9/22/22

Negotiations that began in 2021 are finally complete! Market rates on the T&I positions have been agreed upon and implemented. This will finalize the midpoints for the FY22 period and are posted on the EA website EA Pay Schedule for FY22. Although negotiations were long the EA came away with much success and for many positions a record increase in midpoint. The EA negotiated the addition of a new classification with the SR-II and saw increased midpoints, based on market data, across the board. Regarding pay, the question on everyone’s mind has been, “what about inflation being at such a high level?” The EA has asked TVA the same question. We will continue to push forward with our argument that with inflation at record levels, TVA should consider an adjustment. We will continue to pursue this and of course keep you updated. Please note that the 3.0% pay raise is calculated based on the midpoint of your job’s market range and not a percentage of your current pay. The midpoints on the EA website are for FY22. The FY23 midpoints will be posted to the EA website shortly. To calculate your midpoint, take the FY22 midpoint from the website and multiply by 1.0225.

Senior II Qualifications

The qualification for being classified at the SR-II (B2) level is 10 years of TVA time working at or above the Senior level in an EA represented position with any time as management counting as well. We continue to monitor the movement of members to the SR-II and encourage every member to monitor their own status as well. If you find your total time has met the criteria of 10 years and you have not been properly classified, please let the EA know and we can check into it for you. Transparent conversations with management concerning your promotion to SR-II (B2) is encouraged. The TVA/EA Agreement contract language (S‐4:M2a) provides for a 5‐12% increase in base pay for movement to a higher classification. I recommend you ask for a justifiable appropriate percentage within the range.
