Summary:
Claimant paid $406 following the ratification of the contract. Considered as a signing bonus and allocated to the week of the signature. The representative claimed that the money had been paid in lieu of other salary and benefits improvement the union was trying to obtain. Held by umpire that the employer had agreed to the payment of a bonus which was to be paid on a given date. Amounts were therefore paid as a direct result of the signing of the agreement.
