just say, "no thank you," and blame the HOA. Without an agreement in place, you are NOT guaranteed additional compensation unless you have something in writing granting you supplemental pay.

To date, the programs with fewer than 20 trainees do not receive additional compensation, and the administration in bargaining sees no reason to allow the departments to reward you under paragraph 18 of the current CBA.

So if your program asks you to take on the administrative chief role without extra pay, you can use the current HOA negotiations as a reason to say no. We will continue to fight for equitable compensation.
