PORT OF SEATTLE 
MEMORANDUM 
COMMISSION AGENDA 
Item No.     6a 
Date of Meeting  2/23/2010 
DATE:    January 4, 2010 
TO:      Tay Yoshitani, Chief Executive Officer 
FROM:    Lisa Hornfeck, Manager, Labor Relations 
SUBJECT:  Collective Bargaining Agreement  between the Port of Seattle and the
International  Association  of  Machinists,  Local  289  representing  Parts
Procurement Representatives. 
REQUESTED ACTION: 
Request for authorization for the Chief Executive Officer to execute a new Collective Bargaining
Agreement between the Port of Seattle and the International Association of Machinists, Local
289 representing Parts Procurement Representatives. 
BACKGROUND: 
This agreement covers eleven (11) parts procurement representatives, working in Aviation
Maintenance.  This group of organized workers was certified September 25, 2008, as the
bargaining representative. 
In 2009 the parties did not adopt a uniform hourly wage and agreed to a wage freeze in 2009 due
to economic challenges facing the Port. 
Due to the continuing financial challenges the Port is facing for 2010, the Union and
Management have agreed to a proposed one year extension of the current 2009 contract with
some minor clarifications. The employees will continue to be paid according to their nonrepresented
pay scale, with an average total compensation increase of three percent (3%) per
employee.  The hourly wage increases are weighted to bring the employees at the lower end of
the scale and the employees at the higher end of the wage scale closer to a mid-point range. The
parties anticipate bargaining a uniform hourly rate at the end of this contract cycle, December
2010. 
The proposed agreement is for a one year term, so that a new unified wage scale may be
addressed and implemented in January 2011. The employees will continue in the PERS pension
program.
