ACTION ITEM                            Date of Meeting    September 13, 2022 
DATE:    September 13, 2022

SUBJECT:  New Collective Bargaining Agreement Between the Port of Seattle and the
Teamsters Local 117 representing Employee Parking Bus Drivers 
Additional cost over term:     $455,315.34 
ACTION REQUESTED 
Request Commission authorization for the Executive Director to execute a new collective
bargaining agreement (CBA) between the Port of Seattle and Teamsters Local 117 representing
Employee Parking Bus Drivers in our Aviation Landside Operations Department, covering the
period from June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Good faith bargaining between the Port of Seattle and Teamsters Local 117 resulted in a fair
collective bargaining agreement consistent with the Port’s priorities.
The bargaining unit, consisting of 31 budgeted1 Employee Parking Bus Drivers, who transport
airport employees between the North Employee Parking Lot (NEPL) and the terminal, was, prior
to this agreement, part of a combined bargaining unit with our Parking Service Revenue
Representatives (PSRR), who provide customer service, cashiering transactions, and inventory
control for the Airport’s public parking garage. Both the Union and the Port have agreed that
both work groups should be separated into two distinct bargaining units based upon the 
differences within their community of interests.
This new agreement covers a period of one year from June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023. The
estimated total cumulative additional cost for wages, pension, healthcare, and other benefits is
$455,315.34.

The costs are based upon a CPI-U indexed wage rate increase of 6% + a 4% market adjustment (a
total of 10%),  a 4% estimated increase to healthcare premiums, and the deletion of the 1st 6
months entry level wage rate.
Other changes include: the mutual agreement between the Parties to promote Equity, Diversity,
and Inclusion in the workplace; gender specific language has been amended; the inclusion of
Juneteenth as a paid holiday; an increased employee health insurance monthly premium share
(from $100 to $115 by end of term); an enhanced first year vacation accrual formula.
