MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT COVER SHEET WORK UNIT DATA Operating Engineers in the Aviation Maintenance Division Union Affiliation International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 286 Terry Roberts, Business Agent Port of Seattle Employees Covering ninety (90) employees in Aviation Maintenance Division. Work Location Sea-Tac Airport CONTRACT DATA Term 2 years: June 1, 2009 through May 31, 2011 TERMS and CONDITIONS Wages First Year of Contract: June 2009 June 2010 Increase of $2.48 per hour Base rate for Operating Engineer $34.13 This hourly wage increase includes approved 3% wage increase for represented employees, and money saved from the employee group's change in Health and Welfare Plan added to hourly wage. The rate the Port is paying per month, per employee for the new H&W plan is $985.00, a savings of an average of $250.00 per employee per month. The H&W monthly benefits are capped for the life of the contract at $1,000.00 per month per employee. If the second year of the contract the monthly premium increase is above the cap, the employee is responsible for the increased premium. The combined total of the H&W money and the 3% budgeted increase equals a 7.8% increase for a Journeyman Engineer for 2009-2010. Second Year of the Contract: June 2010 June 2011 COLA between (2% 6%) + an additional 1% COLA indexes in the Seattle area have been between 0% - 2% the last year. It is anticipated that second year of the contract the COLA index will be 2% or under. If that is the case, the wage increase will be the COLA floor of 2% + an additional 1% = 3% total wage increase. The range between 2% - 6% was agreed to for consistency with other Port of Seattle contracts and within the industry. Although it is possible the COLA index will be high er than 2% it is very unlikely to be significantly so. In addition, since this is a mid -year contract, any increase will be off-set by taking effect in June, rather than January. Premium Rate Increases Premium rate for Operating Maintenance Engineers (Operators in the Boiler Room) increased from fifty-five cents ($.55) per hour to one dollar ($1.00) per hour, due to the licensing requirements. There are forty four (44) employees receiving this premium. Premium Rate for employees on the Loading Bridge Crew who has an all position structural welding/AWS license as required for the position, increased from twenty-five cents ($.25) to seventy cents ($.70). There are seven (7) employees receiving this premium. Benefits There is no change to the hourly and monthly pension benefit contribution rates for the duration of the contract. As of November 1, 2009, the employees left the Port medical plan and began participating in the Local 302/612 IUOE Health and Security Fund, to include Medical, Dental and Insurance Benefits. The current rate is $985.00 per month per employee. The Port contribution is capped at $1000 for the second year of the contract. If the monthly premium increases, the employees shall be responsible for the difference.
