Minutes Exhibit B
November 10, 2014
Dear Port of Seattle Commissioners,
We write regarding the issue of civil rights as it pertains to the Port of Seattle's upcoming
redevelopment of the food and retail concessions program at Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport. This redevelopment presents a major opportunity for the Port to refresh the concessions
program and maintain the world-class standards that we all expect from our region's major
airport. But it also poses major risks to the concessions workforce, most of which is made up of
people of color earning low wages.
We, the undersigned, include many people who work in these concessions jobs at SeaTac Airport
and their supporters in the community. For years we have stood together with one another with a
demand not to be left behind when our airport workplace is redeveloped. For us, this has always
been a civil rights struggle, a struggle about how we will be treated during this redevelopment.
For this reason, we are dismayed by the discussion resulting from "civil rights" issues being raised
in recent weeks by minority-owned business owners interested in winning multi-million dollar
contracts, at SeaTac Airport. If these companies are truly concerned about civil rights, how can the
solution to their problems be to curtail the civil rights of workers?
The upcoming changes to the concessions program at SeaTac Airport will affect over 2,000
workers, most of whom are low~wage people of color and a majority are women. We agree that
minority-owned businesses deserve fair treatment, but those believing in civil rights should
advocate for such rights for everybody. It's not too late for all of us concerned with civil rights to
come together, but without a sincere understanding about what is at stake for each of us, this :
would not be an honest dialogue. i
Sincerely,
Filipino Community of Seattle

Dear Port of Seattle Commissioners,
S
We write regarding the issue of civil rights as it pertains to the Port of Seattle's upcoming
redevelopment ofthe food and retail concessions program at Seattle-Tacoma international
Airport. This redevelopment presents a major opportunity for the Port to refresh the concessions
program and maintain the world-class standards that we all expect from our region's major

people of color earning low wages.
We, the undersigned, include many people who work in these concessions jobs at SeaTac Airport
and their supporters in the community. For years we have stood together with one another with a
demand not to be left behind when our airport workplace is redeveloped. For us, this has always
been a civil rights struggle, a struggle about how we will be treated during this redevelopment.
For this reason, we are dismayed by the discussion resulting from "civil rights" issues being raised

The upcoming changes to the concessions program at SeaTac Airport will affect over 2,000

minority-owned businesses deserve fair treatment, but those believing in civil rights should
advocate for such rights for everybody. It's not too late for all of us concerned with civil rights to
come together, but without a sincere understanding about what is at stake for each of us, this
would not be an honest dialogue. ,CIN'T'C':'2'7'5"1".5'..'::.';',.f-,.,1v_-,-,-,-.-,-'-.-,-.I.
