ARTICLE 9: Grievance Procedure The parties acknowledge that every effort should be made by the employee(s) and the appropriate supervisor to resolve issues prior to initiating grievance procedures. A grievance shall be define d as an alleged violation of the terms of this Agreement. If a grievance is initiated by the Port or the Union regarding the application or interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, the grievance may be filed at Step 2 within 21 calendar days of know ledge of the circumstances giving rise to the grievance otherwise, the grievance must be initiated at Step 1. A four step grievance procedure is established as follows: Step One: Informal Resolution An employee who believes that a provision of this A greement has been violated must submit a “Grievance Filing” form (See Appendix C) to the Port and the Union within twenty one (21) calendar days from the date he/she knew or reasonably should have known of the alleged violation. Within fourteen (14) calen dar days of the filing of the completed “Grievance Filing” form, the Port will send a written response to both the employee and to the Union. Step Two: Labor Relations Committee If the written response in Step One has not resolved the grievance satisfa ctorily, or if the Union initiated the grievance, the Union may, in its sole discretion, elect to advance the grievance to Step 2. If a grievance is brought by the Port against the Union, it may be filed at Step 2. To advance a grievance to Step 2, eithe r the Union or the Port shall submit a written statement setting forth in detail the facts upon which the grievance is based, the sections of the Agreement alleged to have been violated, and the remedy sought. The Union shall submit such written statement to the Senior Director or designee of Labor Relations and the Port shall submit such written statement to the Secretary/Treasurer/Business Agent of the Union. For a grievance to be timely initiated at Step 2, the written statement must be submitted within twenty one (21) calendar days from the date the grieving party knew or reasonably should have known of the alleged violation.

A Labor Relations Committee (LRC) shall consist of the Union’s Business Agent and up to two (2) members of the bargaining unit selected by the Union, and up to three (3) persons selected by the Port. The L RC will meet within fourteen (14) calendar days of the request that it do so to discuss and attempt to resolve the grievance. Any resolution reached by the LRC shall be reduced to writing and signed on behalf of the Port and the Union. Step Three: Volu ntary Mediation If the grievance is not resolved at Step 2 of the procedure, upon mutual agreement, the Port and the Union may, within seven (7) days of the LRC meeting, agree to submit the grievance to a mediator appointed by the Public Employment Relati ons Commission or another mutually agreed upon mediator for mediation. If mediation fails to resolve the issue(s), or if both parties do not agree to submit the grievance to mediation, then the matter may be referred to arbitration by the grieving party. Nothing said or done by the parties or the mediator during the grievance mediation can be used in the arbitration proceeding. Step Four: Arbitration. A. Arbitration Procedures Within thirty (30) days of the failure to resolve this grievance by the LRC or, if the parties attempt mediation, within thirty (30) days of the failure of the mediation process, either party to this Agreement may, in its sole discretion, apply to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service for a list of five (5) persons who ar e qualified and available to serve as arbitrators for the dispute involved. Within five (5) days of receipt of this list, the Labor Relations Committee will jointly select the arbitrator from the list in the following manner: The representatives of the nion and the Port shall each privately identify (strike) two (2) of the five (5) available arbitrators. The person whose name was not struck shall be the arbitrator. If more than one (1) person is not struck by either party, the person not struck whose las t name comes first in the alphabet shall be selected. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding to all parties to the dispute. The Union and Port shall pay any compensation and expenses relating to its own witnesses and/or representatives , except that Port employees whose presence is (1) requested by the Union or the Port and (2) reasonably necessary or related to the proper conduct of the arbitration, and who otherwise would be “on the clock,” will be treated as if they are still working and thus will suffer no loss of pay as a result of their presence at the arbitration. In order to ensure parity for all employees in this regard, an employee who is assigned to swing or graveyard shift and whose presence meets the criteria set forth abov e shall be released from some or all of either the shift immediately preceding the date of his/her presence at the arbitration, or the shift following such presence, depending on the circumstances, for an amount of time equal to the amount of time such emp loyee is directed to spend at the arbitration. If either party requests a stenographic record of the hearing, the party requesting the copy will pay the cost of said record. If the other party also requests a copy, the party will pay one half �� &#x/Att;¬he;

The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties . The Union does not hereby waive any rights it may have, subsequent to a successful arbitration, to seek an award of reasonably incurred attorneys fees pursuant to RCW 49.48.030. B. Limitation on Power of the Arbitrato The powers of the arbitrator shall be limited to the application and interpretation of this agreement and its appendices. Decisions shall be based on whether or not a contract violati on is deemed to have occurred. The arbitrator shall have jurisdiction to decide any dispute arising under this Agreement, but shall not add to, delete, or modify any section of the Agreement. EXCEPTION: Should the Union contend that it is (or could be) en titled to an award of reasonably incurred attorneys fees pursuant to RCW 49.48.030, and should the Port agree, the Port and the Union may specifically request that the arbitrator retain jurisdiction, subsequent to his/her ruling on the merits of the grieva nce, to determine all issues related to the amount of such an award and to determine the appropriate amount of such an award. Such an agreement may occur either prior to or subsequent to the arbitrator’s decision on the merits. C. Time Limits/Intent of the Parties It is the intent of the parties that disputes be resolved in an amicable and orderly fashion based on the merits. In pursuing this end, the parties do not want disputes forced to either the LRC or arbitration that might be resolved at earlier stages. For this reason, the time limits and all other requirements set forth above may be waived by written agreement or acknowledgement of the primary representatives of the parties , i.e., the Port's Labor Relations Director or his/her delegate, an d the Union's Business Representative or his/her delegate. D. Time Limitation as to Back Pay Grievance claims involving retroactive compensation shall be limited to one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days prior to the written submission of the grievan ce to the Port and the Union, provided, however, this one hundred and eighty (180) day limitation may be waived by mutual consent of the parties ARTICLE 10: Seniority Section 1. Seniority Roster he Port shall maintain one (1) seniority roster for ea ch classification. Seniority for the purpose of this Article is the employee's most recent date of hire into the particular classification, except as noted below. If there are multiple employees hired on the same day, seniority will be calculated by the mploy ees birth date, excluding year. Section 2. Shift Bid. Employees on a classification seniority list shall have the right to exercise shift preference according to their classification seniority. Section Reduction in Force. One purpose of cl assification seniority is to give credit to employee service in layoff and recall situations. Employees will be laid off and recalled from and �� &#x/Att;¬he;

Section 4. Bumping Rights. Persons employed in a particular classification who are laid off from that classification may bump in to a previously held equivalent or lower level position within the bargaining unit, or the Aviation Security bargaining unit, to the extent the Aviation Security bargaining agreement permits, based on their classification seniority in the lower or equivale nt level classification, provided she/he meets the minimum qu alifications for that position. Should that occur, their seniority in the classification to which they are returning will be the same as when they left that classification (i.e. it will be the o riginal date of their hire into that classification.) Section 5 . Recall to Classification. Employees laid off from their classification position who bump to any other bargaining unit position , or who bump into an Aviation Security bargaining unit posi tion in accordance with the provisions of this Article will be entitled to be recalled in their original classification seniority order to their original classification position for a period of two years following the layoff. EXCEPT: the right to be reca lled to a classification from which an employee has been laid off will be forfeited if an offer of recall is made and declined. Additionally, an employee must be qualified, or qualifiable for the position within a reasonable amount of time. Nothing in thi s Article precludes the Port from actually reducing the number of positions available for bargaining unit members. Section . Loss of Seniority All seniority rights shall be broken and forfeited by resignation, or termination for cause, retirement, o r voluntarily accepting a position outside of this, or the Aviation Security bargaining unit. Except: If an employee accepts a transfer out of the unit in lieu of a layoff, that employee shall maintain his or her classification seniority until such time as he or she has been working away from the unit in excess of twenty four (24) months, or declines an offer of recall to the classification, whichever is sooner. Section 7. Retention of Seniority Classification seniority is not lost through promotion to any position in this or the Aviation Security bargaining unit , or as a result of exercising a bumping right under Article 10 Section 4. Section . Notice of Layoff n the event of an imminent reduction in force, written notice shall be provided to ea ch employee scheduled for layoff and the Union at least five (5) weeks prior to the date of layoff. Section Probationary Period . There shall be a six (6) calendar month probationary period after being hired into any position in this bargaining unit. Employees on such probation shall work as directed. Additionally, they shall report to work as called and shall accept designated shift assignments and work assignments. Continued employment shall be based on evidence of the employee's ability to meet th e above standards and to maintain a satisfactory level of performance as judged by the Port during the probationary period following hire into a bargaining unit position. Probationary employees have the same rights as all other employees and have the same access to the grievance procedure as all other employees although they can �� &#x/Att;¬he;

Seniority Preference Selection Employees in the bargaining unit shall have priority right to openings in bargaining unit positions. Such priority right means that any such employee bidding for a promotion s hall be granted that promotion on the basis of seniority provided that that employee has the objective qualifications for the position. No position affected by this priority right shall be advertised outside of the bargaining unit until bargaining unit mem bers have been given reasonable notice of the opening and a chance to bid for the opening. Section 3. Job Qualifications . Only reasonable and actually necessary qualifications may be set as the qualifications necessary to be selected for any position. T he employer may create training programs and objective testing to ensure that an employee has such qualifications and the employer may create an objective certification process to create a record of such qualifications.

Out of Class Assignments Outside of the Bargaining Unit . The Port may, with the concurrence of the Union, assign an employee from the bargainin g unit to a position outside of the bargaining unit for a period not to exceed six (6) months. Assignments may be extended with mutual agreement by the Parties . All such temporary, out of class assignments shall be voluntary on the part of the employee who is offered the assignment. The Port and the assigned employee each reserve the right to end the assignment at any time. During such assignment the employee shall be compensated at a rate determined by Port Human Resources and hours of work shall be as a ssigned by management.

Effective at the signing of this agreement, the following paid holid ays shall be recognized and observed, as follows: New Year's Day January 1 Martin Luther King's Birthday Third Monday in January President's Day Third Monday in February Memorial Day Last Monday in May Independence Day July 4 Labor Day First Monday in September Thanksgiving Day Fourth Thursday in November Day after Thanksgiving Christmas Day December 25 One (1) "Floating Holiday" To be designated by the Port When the Port's salary and benefit resolution shifts the day o f observance of any of the above holidays, that shift shall apply to the holidays under this contract as well. Section 2. Premium Pay for Working on a Holiday. Employees scheduled to work on a Port observed holiday shall receive one and one half times r egular rate of pay for hours worked on a Port designated holiday. Employees who work on the actual holiday of Christmas Day , New Years Day or Independence Day shall receive one and one half times regular rate of pay for hours worked, if different from the Port’s designated day of observance for those t hree holidays. In no case shall an employee be eligible for holiday premium pay for more than one day for each of the ten holidays. Section . Compensation for Holidays. “Holiday pay” for bargaining unit em ployees shall be eight (8) or ten (10) hours (whichever is the regula r shift) at the straight time rate subject to the following conditions: All employees, whether they work or don't work on the holiday, will receive "Holiday Pay" in one of two forms: ither a) A "cash out" of the 'holiday pay', OR An “in lieu of holiday” day off (equivalent of 8 or 10 straight time hours, whatever is the regular shift) The choice between a and b is subject to certain limitations described below: �� &#x/Att;¬he;

If employees choose to cash out the "holiday pay", there is no choice of when it is cashed out it attaches to the contractually listed holiday. 2. If employees choose the "in lieu of" day off option, such day would have to be asked for by the employee and approv ed by management before it can be taken (just like PTO). Such "in lieu of" days must be taken before PTO is used. It is up to the employee to keep track of their “in lieu of” days. All such “in lieu of” days will be cashed out at the straight time rate a t the end of the same Port payroll calendar year in which they were earned. (e. g., all ‘in lieu of” days earned in 2008 will be cashed out at end of the Port’s payroll calendar year for 2008.) If the employee does not make the choice on their time cards d uring the pay period of the holiday, they will get the "holiday pay cash out" (of 8 or 10 hours straight time, whatever is their usual shift) by default. Also, for only those employees w ho actually work on the holiday they get, in addition to "Holiday Pay ", an OT premium for hours actually worked on the holiday. The premium is time and half for their regular shift, and two and half their regular rate for hours worked beyond their normal shift. It is the intent of this Holiday Pay Article that only th ose employees who actually work on the holiday will receive the benefit of the overtime premium in addition to “Holiday Pay”. “Holiday pay” does not count as hours worked for purposes of calculating overtime for those employees who do not work on the hol iday. (i.e. if the holiday falls on a Monday, and an employee’s normal work schedule is Tuesday Saturday, the fact that the employee is paid eight hours of ‘holiday pay’ for Monday would not cause the employee to be paid OT for working on Saturday, the ir regular day of work. This Section shall be effective starting wi th the first contractually listed holiday after the signing this Agreement. oliday pay shall be prorated for all employees who work less than a full time schedule. ARTICLE 16: H arry Bridges Day Harry Bridges Day. Each employee who works on July 28 for each year during the term of this agreement shall receive one and one half times their regular hourly rate of pay for all hours worked for that day.
