The latest confirmed development in the contract arbitration cards is that a new work docket opens with a named machine, shift and measure. The update comes from the contract table at North Furnace Hall; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.

Grikka Ash, labor correspondent, confirmed 41 disputes resolved with the pay change visible on both copies in the file. The previous window recorded 40; the totals do not settle how workers can verify a contract adjustment after a dispute is closed.

The unresolved point is specific: The contractor points to a signed note. Workers say the final pay slip should show how that note changed the amount. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.

Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.

NEXT UPDATE: The Year first, cinder winter window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The table will attach a pay-change line to the closeout copy. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
