INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
DATE: November 19, 2014
SUBJECT: USW Police Commanders Collective Bargaining Agreement (2014-2016)
BACKGROUND
The City labor negotiations team and the USW (United Steelworkers) Police
Commanders opened labor negotiations on September 9, 2013, in an effort to reach an
agreement on a successor labor contract. A tentative agreement was reached during
mediation in good faith between the parties on November 14, 2014 which resulted in a
three year contract (2014-2016).
The City team used the guiding principles established by the Council in their
Compensation Resolution No. 1796, setting the focus for the negotiation and mediation
process.
The contract provides for wage increases over term of the labor agreement based upon
external market comparators, using flat percentage or CPI-W formula. Other negotiated
changes were to the Bereavement Leave and the Grievance Procedure articles of the
agreement. Overall, the negotiation and mediation process was a good collaborative
effort by both parties.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is being asked to authorize the Mayor to sign the successor collective
bargaining agreement between the City and the USW Police Commanders at the
December 1, 2014, Regular meeting.
