Effective on January 1, 2000 and continuing on each January 1st thereafter, the salary for the National Officers that was in effect on December 31st of the preceding year shall be increased by the percentage amount that is established by applying the following formula to determine an average of selected CEP settlements during the preceding year:

40% of the weighted average of the Western Canada and Eastern Canada pulp and paper settlements.
24% of the Energy National Bargaining settlement.
36% of the weighted average of the Bell Canada Craft settlement and the CBC settlement.

For the purposes of the weighted average calculation, lump sums including signing bonuses, catch-up, benefits and pay equity adjustments will be excluded. For purposes of determining the appropriate application of the above formula a committee made up of all the Rank-and-File Members of the Executive Board shall make any necessary decisions. No increases shall be put into effect until the committee has given its approval.
