Regional Council of Carpenters on January 1, 2009, for the purpose of establishing wages, hours of work,
terms and conditions of employment and other items deemed important by the parties, and shall be
subject to any Federal or State Law and the terms of the Port's Salary and Benefit Resolutions and, in

Federal or State Law, or conflict with any resolution of the Port of Seattle,
or any rule or regulation
promulgated by the Port of Seattle, such provision shall be modified to comply with such law, resolution,
rule or regulation.

ARTICLE I

UNION RECOGNITION


Since the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters is no longer affiliated with the Seattle/ King
County Building and Construction Trades Council, and desires to bargain independently from that
organization, the Port of Seattle reaffirms its recognition of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of
Carpenters, (hereinafter referred to as the "Union"), as the Collective Bargaining representative of the
"unit employees" of the Port of Seattle who are employed in crafts or job classifications which would
otherwise be covered by collective bargaining agreements between the Union and other employers
performing similar scopes of work in the Puget Sound region, for the following purposes and subject to
the following conditions:

The Port recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for all employees of the Port
performing work historically covered by this agreement or agreements prior to this agreement of which
the Port and the Union were parties thereto.

ARTICLE II

MANAGEMENT RIGHTS


The Port retains all rights except those rights that are limited by the subsequent Articles of this
Agreement or applicable law. Nothing anywhere in this agreement shall be construed to impair the right
of the Port to conduct all its business in all particulars except as modified by the subsequent articles of
this Agreement and the Letter of 1965 as attached (Appendix A).

ARTICLE III

MAINTENANCE OF MEMBERSHIP

members as a condition of employment. Present employees who are not members of the union at the date of the
execution of this agreement shall become members of the union within the time period specified under the
union's Master Labor Agreement and shall remain members as a condition of employment. No employee will be
terminated under this agreement if the Port has reasonable grounds for believing:

1.  That union membership was not available to the employee on the same terms and conditions generally
applicable to other union members, or

2.  That union membership was denied or terminated for reasons other than the failure of the employee to
tender the periodic dues and the initiation fee uniformly required as a condition of acquiring or retaining
membership.

The Port shall discharge or otherwise cause the termination of employment of non-complying employees upon
receipt of written request to the Port's Director of Labor Relations from the union. Prior to sending a written
request for termination to the Port, the union shall notify the affected employee of its intention to request
termination. Such termination of employment shall be within five (5) working days of receipt of written request by
the Port's Director of Labor Relations.

ARTICLE IV
SPECIAL AGREEMENTS

a physician's statement to
justify use of Extended illness
leave. A physician's release shall be
required prior to the return to work by
an employee who
has experienced inpatient hospitalization
of any kind that requires
an absence from work or
who has suffered an absence of longer than
two weeks due to illness,
