To Clarify:
Babboo25 is in Local 710 which is geographically in the Central States area, but is not a part of the National Master or the Central States Supplement. Local 710 covers most of Illinois, Indiana, and Davenport Iowa, (I think.)
Local 710 has its own Contract. Since it is not part of the National Master Agreement, it has no Supplement.
Local 705, which covers the greater Chicago area, also is not part of the National Master Agreement. It has its own Contract and does not therefore have a Supplement.
Local 710 and 705 are next door to each other but not related. Their Contracts are different from each other.
There are three seperate bargaining units in the USA: the National Master (including all its Supplements), Local 710, and Local 705. While the National Master (and its many Supplements) were negotiated and ratified over seven months early, Locals 710 and 705 did not fall for that ploy and waited until August 1, 2008 to sign their new (and better) contracts.
