The rate range maximums will be adjusted in accordance with Section 6.4 of this
Agreement, if applicable.
The 8820A classification applies
only to newly hired employees and those individuals placed in this
classification through any means other than the exercise of contractual rights
provided by Article 22 of the Agreement.
