INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: August 8, 2018
SUBJECT: Tukwila Firefighters Local No. 2088 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)
2017 -2019
BACKGROUND
City staff, our Labor Relations Consultant, and the Tukwila Firefighters Local No. 2088
negotiations team opened labor negotiations on October 4, 2016, to reach an agreement on a
successor labor contract. A tentative agreement negotiated between the parties was reached
resulting in a three-year agreement with the Tukwila Firefighters Local No. 2088 bargaining
group for 2017-2019.
DISCUSSION
The collective bargaining agreement provides for wage adjustments of 3.00% for 2017; 3.25%
for 2018; and 3.0% 2019. The Tukwila Firefighters Local No. 2088 have agreed to accept the
City's Self -Insured Medical Benefit Plan Design changes which will result in savings to our
healthcare plan. The City and Union negotiated a Retirement Management Program for
employees with seniority who voluntarily separate employment from the City through the LEOFF
retirement system. This benefit provides the employee with a monthly stipend towards medical
insurance until they become eligible for Medicare. In addition, updates to the drug and alcohol
testing program were made for compliance with Federal Safety standards and department
policy.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is being asked to approve the 2017-2019 Collective Bargaining Agreement for
the Tukwila Firefighters Local No. 2088 and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement at the
Regular Council Meeting on August 20, 2018.
