In addition to the TAs a significant amount of language cleanup was performed by a subgroup and approved by the joint bargaining team.
To ease navigating the document for the purpose of reviewing these changes, embedded comments, and TAs, we have color coded the table of contents in the Elgin Agreement as follows:
1. Yellow highlight – language cleanup that typically reflects eliminating language related to prior practice.
2. Green highlight – language bargained by the joint bargaining teams and typically reflects new language
3. Blue highlight – language bargained and agreed to by the joint bargaining teams after being brought forward by the work of joint committees
