INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS, LOCAL 286
And
THE PORT OF SEATTLE
MUTUAL AGREEMENT - June 1, 2011 - May 31, 2014

This Mutual Agreement, made and entered into by and between the International Union of
Operating Engineers, Local No. 286 (hereinafter referred to as the Union), and the Port of Seattle
(hereinafter referred to as the Port), is made for the purpose of reaching an equitable wage and
working agreement between the parties hereto:
ARTICLE 1: Recognition
1.01 The Port recognizes the Union as the collective bargaining agent for all employees of the
Port whose job classifications are listed in Schedule A and other references of this Labor
Agreement.
ARTICLE 2: Jurisdiction
2.01 It is mutually agreed between the Port and the Union that the jurisdictional area of the
Union at Sea-Tac International Airport will be hereafter identified as the Physical Plant
Operations and Maintenance of Airport Utilities (which encompasses the Union
jurisdictional area described in Appendix #1; attached hereto) and the Mechanical and
Conveyance Equipment Maintenance of Airport Facilities (which encompasses the Union
jurisdictional area described in Appendix #2; attached hereto).
2.02 The operation and maintenance of heating plants at the waterfront locations as operated
and maintained by Horton Street Maintenance Shop personnel, will also come under the
jurisdiction of Operating Engineers Local 286.
2.03 The jurisdiction of the Union shall encompass all work historically performed at the
Airport and on the waterfront by its members when such work is performed by Port
employees.
ARTICLE 3: Union Security and Rights of Parties
3.01 All present employees who are members of the Union as of the date of the execution of
this Agreement shall remain members during the life of this Agreement as a condition of
continued employment. Present employees who are not members of the Union at the date
of the execution of this Agreement and elect in the future to become members shall
remain members thereafter during the life of this Agreement as a condition of continued
employment. All employees hired after the execution of this Agreement shall become
members of the Union within thirty (30) days following the beginning of their
employment and shall remain members during the life of this Agreement as acondition

of their continued employment. No employee will be terminated under this subsection if
the Port has reasonable grounds for believing:
(a) That membership was not available to the employee on the same terms and
conditions generally applicable to other members, or
(b) That membership was denied or terminated for reasons other than the failure of
the employee to tender the periodic dues and the initiation fee uniformly required
as a condition of acquiring or retaining membership.
3.02 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Management reserves the right to make
all the decisions relating to the conduct of the business, including by way of example and
not by way of limitation, the following:
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the right to manage the business, to
schedule the hours of work, to establish, modify or change work scheduled, to direct and
determine the size of the working forces including the right to select, hire, promote,
demote, and transfer employees, to periodically review employees performance, to
relieve employees from duty due to lack of work, to discipline, to terminate employees
for just cause, and to determine training procedures in accordance with policies
established or to be established by the Port.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that the enumeration
of the above-listed management rights shall not be deemed to exclude other management
rights not specifically enumerated. Any of the rights, powers, functions or authority
which the Port had prior to the signing of this Agreement are retained by the Port, except
for those rights, powers, functions or authority which are specifically abridged or
expressly modified by this Agreement. Any grievance filed based on the collective
bargaining agreement must reference the specific article alleged as the basis of the
grievance.
The union agrees that the employer may establish rules concerning the operation of
business, as outlined in the revised Aviation Maintenance Work Rules.
It is hereby agreed that any waiver of any breach or terms of this Agreement by either
party, or by an employee, shall not constitute a precedent in the future enforcement of all
the terms and conditions herein.
ARTICLE 4: Equal Employment Opportunity
4.01 During the life of this Agreement, it is mutually agreed between the Port and the Union
that there shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment
or against any Union member or applicant for membership because of race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability (as established by
statutory regulations), or Vietnam era veteran status.

4.02 Where the masculine or feminine gender has been used in any job classification or in any
provision in this Agreement, it is used solely for the purpose of illustration and shall not
in any way be used to designate the sex of the employee eligible for the position, or the
benefits of any other provisions.
ARTICLE 5: Referral and Change in Employee Status
5.01 When replacement or additional employees are needed, the Port shall notify the Union of
the number and classification of employees needed. The Union shall have twenty-four
(24) hours from receipt of such notice to nominate applicants for such jobs. The Port
shall choose between applicants nominated by the Union and any other applicants on the
basis of their respective qualifications for the job, and no applicants will be preferred or
discriminated against because of membership or non-membership in the Union.
5.02 The Port agrees to notify the Union promptly of all terminations, layoffs, hires, rehires,
promotions, demotions, and other changes in status of personnel working under the terms
of this Agreement. Such notice is to be forwarded to the office of the Union within one
(1) week after effective date of such change.
5.03 All temporary employees, after completing thirty-one (31) days, shall accrue all benefits
as provided other employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement, except
seniority as provided under Section 7.04.
5.04 If a regular full-time vacancy occurs at a shop, temporary employees in that shop who
have completed six (6) months as a temporary, and who have not had a break in
employment in excess of five (5) calendar days, shall be offered the first available regular
full-time vacancy/position. Should there be multiple temporary employees who meet the
above criteria at the same time of a vacancy/position, seniority from among these
temporary employees shall be the sole basis of hiring for these full-time positions.
5.05 If a regular full-time vacancy occurs in a shop and there are no temporary employees in
that shop, other temporary employees that have met the criteria in Section 5.04 will have
first interview rights to that position.
5.06 Employees awarded bid jobs, at the conclusion of a bid process, to be defined by
management, that has resulted from a vacancy or the creation of a new position, must
work those awarded positions for a minimum of six (6) months from the declared end of
the bidding process. The one exception to this process is that the employee can apply for
the head or chief position regardless of how many bids or awards the employee has been
awarded. Management will provide notice at the start of the last bidding cycle that the
cycle is ending.

ARTICLE 6: Loaning of Employees and Reporting Relationships
6.01 The Port shall not loan, or cause to be loaned, the members of the Union in its employ to
any other employer without first securing permission of the Union and then only when
applicants possessing the required skill are not available under the referral procedure.
6.02 The Port will supply a current organizational chart designating the supervisory chain of
command. The Physical Plant Operations and the Mechanical and Conveyance Systems
crews must report according to this chart.
ARTICLE 7: Seniority
7.01 Seniority shall prevail in the reduction of forces and rehire provided the senior employee
is competent to perform the work remaining in the plant or boiler room. Management
shall be the judge of competency. Employees laid off in accordance with the provisions
of this section will be eligible for rehire in inverse order of layoff for a period of one year
following layoff.
7.02 Seniority shall prevail in selection of vacant shifts when in management's judgment the
senior employee is qualified and suitable for the shift assignment.
7.03 The Port will transmit to the Union a current list of division employees in June of each
contract year. Such list will indicate the name of the employee, job classification, and
division seniority date, along with the vacation accrual date.
7.04 Any Engineer hired on a temporary basis shall not come under the seniority clause.
However, seniority shall be retroactive to date of hire if a temporary employee is selected
from a posting to regular employee status without a break in service more than five (5)
days from temporary status.
7.05 Seniority shall be based on the following conditions:
For all members of Local 286 working under the jurisdiction of this contract, there shall
be one seniority list.
Seniority shall prevail in the reduction of force and rehire, provided the senior employee
is competent to perform the work remaining in the plant(s). The Port agrees to provide
the Union and employees with as much advance notice of a reduction in force as is
reasonably practical and to meet to negotiate the reduction prior to implementation.
Employees laid off in accordance with the provisions of this section will be eligible for
rehiring in the inverse order of the layoff based on the following recall criteria:
Zero (0) to Two (2) years of service: 180 day recall period
Two (2) years and one day to Seven (7) years of service: 12 month recall period

Seven (7) years and one day to Twelve years of service: 18 month recall period
Twelve (12) years and beyond: 24 month recall period
In the event of a permanent reduction in force, the Port agrees to meet with the Union to
bargain the effects of such a decision. The topics to be included in such impact
negotiations will include timing and notice period for such reduction and severance
payments, if any.
The plants shall be defined as Mechanical Utilities and Conveyance. These plants shall
consist of:
Mechanical Utilities: Boiler Shop Work Group, Industrial Waste Treatment Plant Work
Group and Satellite Transit Systems Work Group.
Conveyance Systems: Conveyor Shop Work Group, Passenger Loading Bridge Work
Group.
The Port reserves the right to redesignate the work groups should changes in business
conditions require such action, following consultation with the Union.
For the purposes of layoff: There shall be one seniority list tiered by job classification
in the following order: Journeyman, Journeyman Trainee, Apprentice, and Utility
Worker. Layoff of employees will take place in reverse order of classification tier and
reverse order of seniority within each tier. Positions to be vacated between the two plants
will be determined by Management. Individuals displaced as a result of vacated positions
will have the opportunity to fill other open positions, or the position occupied by the least
senior person(s) as a result of the layoff. Management, in consultation with the Chief
Engineers, shall make the determination as to whether an individual is qualified to fill an
open position.
Temporary employees shall be released from service prior to a reduction in force
impacting seniority employees.
For the purpose of shift bidding: P riority shall be determined by plant status.
Individuals awarded a shift bid position as the result of an open bidding process shall
commit to remaining on that shift for six (6) months prior to bidding on other shift bid
opportunities per Article 5.06. Should no individuals bid for an open shift determined to
be necessary to backfill by Management, the shift shall be assigned to the individual with
the least amount of seniority within the plant. Individuals assigned to a shift shall not be
required to wait six (6) months before bidding on an available shift.
For the purpose of distribution of overtime: P riority within the work group shall be
the first determining factor. Work groups shall be defined as follows:
Boiler Shop Work Group
Industrial Waste Treatment Plant work group
Satellite Transit System Work Group
5

Conveyor Shop Work Group
Passenger Loading Bridge Work Group.
Should no individuals bid for the available overtime within the affected work group,
priority shall then be determined by the applicable plant membership in prioritizing the
award of overtime.
7.06 Seniority shall date from day of hire within the bargaining unit but no seniority rights
shall be accrued therefrom until after a probationary period of eight hundred (800)
working hours. At the end of the probationary period, the employee shall be classified as
a regular employee. Management, at its discretion, may waive the probationary period
for an employee who has satisfactorily performed a full range of job duties while
employed as a temporary employee at Sea-Tac Airport.
7.07 The Port reserves the right to discipline or terminate the employment of any employee for
just cause. The Union shall be notified of any discharge within twenty-four (24) hours
thereof.
7.08 In the event of a dispute as to whether or not "Justifiable cause" existed, such dispute
may be processed through the grievance procedure contained in Article XXII of this
Agreement.
7.09 Management shall have the discretion for selection of employees for promotion.
However, if management deems the qualifications of two candidates to be equal,
seniority shall be the deciding factor in choosing between the two candidates.
ARTICLE 8: Scope of Work and License Premium and Reimbursement

8.07 It is understood and agreed between the parties to this Agreement that from time to time
the Port may contract with manufacturers or service companies for the performance of
certain mechanical equipment maintenance work, all or a portion of which would
normally be performed by Port employees covered by this Agreement. Upon the
termination of any such contractual arrangement, if the Port determines to assign said
work to its own employees, it will be assigned to employees covered by this Agreement
and the Port will exert its best efforts to preserve and protect such assignment.
8.08 It is further agreed that all maintenance work historically and presently performed by
bargaining unit members covered under this Agreement, will come under the jurisdiction
of International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 286.

practice of compliance with the City of Seattle Steam Engineer License Ordinance and
Refrigeration Operator License Ordinance in the manning requirements for the boilers
and air-conditioning equipment of the Physical Plant Operating and Maintenance of
Airport Utilities, or until such policy of the Port is superseded by a Steam Engineer
License Ordinance and/or a Refrigeration Operator License Ordinance enacted into law

by the Government of the United States, the State of Washington, the County of King, or
any of the political subdivisions thereof having jurisdiction over the Port of Seattle.
8.10 License Lapse: Failure to maintain all required licenses will result in loss of premium
pay and progressive discipline.
ARTICLE 9: Classification Categories
9.01 A Chief Operating, Maintenance & Mechanical Equipment Engineer shall be designated
by the Port for the Physical Plant Operations and the Mechanical and Conveyance
Systems and shall be paid twenty-five percent (25%) above the day shift pay scale of the

Mechanical Equipment Engineer is unavailable for his regular duties due to vacation,
illness, etc., a Head Operating and Maintenance Engineer or a journeyman Operating &
Maintenance Engineer shall be designated as Acting Chief Operating, Maintenance &
Mechanical Equipment Engineer and shall receive the Chief's wages.
When the Chief Engineer is unavailable to perform regular duties on normally scheduled
workdays, the Head Engineer or a journeyman engineer shall be designated as Acting
Chief Engineer. When the Chief Engineer is on normal days off or on a scheduled
holiday, no one will be designated as Acting Chief Engineer. When a bargaining unit
member is assigned to work on a special project or program, the position will be
backfilled at the contractual rate of pay, not at the premium rate of pay.
When a Chief Engineer, is backfilled as required by contract, the person chosen will be
the most senior qualified person assigned to that shift on a regular basis. Chief Engineer,
positions will be backfilled on a full shift basis only, not a partial shift. If a Chief
Engineer leaves before the end of a shift, that position will not be backfilled for the
remainder of the shift.
9.02 A Utility Worker classification is established and the Utility Worker's duties may vary
and shall include but not be limited to such functions as greasing, oiling, changing of
filters, or cleaning same and other necessary work as the Chief Engineer or Acting Chief
Engineer may assign to the Utility Worker.
(a) It is understood between the Parties that the inclusion of a Utility Worker in the
Bargaining Unit shall not be for the purpose of replacing a Journeyman Engineer.
The implementation of this classification shall be at the Port's discretion.
(b) The Utility Worker shall be paid fifty five percent (55%) of the Journeyman
Engineer's day-shift pay scale for the first year of employment. For the second
year of employment, the Utility Worker shall be paid at sixty (60%) of the
Journeyman Engineer's day-shift scale. For the third year of employment and
thereafter, the Utility Worker shall be paid at sixty five percent (65%) of the
Journeyman Engineer's day-shift scale.

(c) Employees in this classification in layoff status as of June 1, 2009 shall be red
circled at the June 1, 2008 wage rate if recalled until such time as the current
utility worker wage rate exceeds this value.
9.03 Journeyman Trainee: A new employee who needs additional training in specific skill
areas will start at 80% of the Journeyman rate. If in the first six months, the employee
has enrolled in a program(s) designated by the Port as necessary for him/her to reach
Journeyman level within one year, on the employee's six month anniversary date the
wage rate will increase to 90%. If at or before the end of the year at management's
discretion, the employee has successfully completed the program(s) and possesses all
required licenses, the employee's wage rate will increase to the Journeyman rate. In
order to maintain employment, a Journeyman Trainee shall complete all necessary
program requirements within one year (12 months) from the date of hire, unless this
period is extended by Management in consultation with the Union.
9.04 During the life of this Agreement, the Port and the Union agree to consider requests to
review new classification requirements which may be identified by the Port or the Union
as a result of changes that have occurred at the Airport. Any new classifications
proposed must be mutually agreed upon by the Port and the Union to become part of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE 10: Pay Schedule, Appendices, and Addendum Incorporated Into Agreement

shift premiums effective May 31, 2005.
11.02 Shift premiums shall apply to sick leave, vacation, holiday pay, and funeral leave.

event of a shift change an employee may make up any time short of 40 hours at the
straight-time rate on an optional basis. All hours worked over eight (8) hours per day or
forty (40) hours per week shall be considered as overtime and paid for at the rate of time

Day Shifts starting between 5:00am and 9:00am
Swing Shifts starting between 1:00pm and 5:00pm
Graveyard Shifts starting between 10:00pm and 2:00am
12.03 Each employee covered under this Agreement shall have a regular designated starting and
quitting time to correspond within the shift schedules as set forth above, that may be
changed by management for operational reasons with 21 calendar day's written notice.
Shift schedule changes greater than three (3) hours will be re-bid.
12.03a Modified/Light Duty Schedule the parties agree to waive the twenty-one (21)
day shift change written notice requirement contained in Article 12 for those bargaining
unit employees injured on the job approved for modified/light duty. The employer agrees
to provide as much notice as possible with a minimum of five (5) days' notice of shift
change.
12.04 In the event an employee is called back to the premises to perform work of any nature
after the employee has completed his/her eight-hour day, the employee shall be paid at
the rate of one hour at double the straight-time rate of pay for such a call back, plus
additional pay at applicable rate for all additional time actually worked.
12.05 During times of the year with inclement weather, the IWTP may be staffed on a voluntary
on-call basis. The maximum response time from the time the call is received to arrival at
the IWTP shall be no greater than two (2) hours. Scheduling of staff for on-call coverage
shall be made in accordance with Article 12 of the contract. Coverage shall be based on
12 hours of on call duty, either dayshift or graveyard. Employees on call for weekend
coverage shall be compensated 10% of the regular rate for IWTP staff, including shift
differentials, for being on call. Should the on call staff be required to respond to the
IWTP, they will be compensated at the appropriate rate of pay for a minimum of 4 hours.
Management will be responsible for managing the call in process of the IWTP staff.
12.06 An employee reporting for a regularly scheduled shift shall receive at least four (4) hours
pay at the straight-time rate of pay.

12.07 All work performed in excess of eleven (11) hours per day or fifty-five (55) hours per
week shall be compensated for at two (2) times the straight time hourly rate.
12.08 Overtime in each instance shall be paid on one basis only, and there shall be no
compounding or pyramiding of overtime.
12.09 The port will endeavor to equalize overtime in the Work Groups. The Port will post
notice of overtime in advance if possible. The Work Groups will keep a list of the amount
of overtime for each individual within each work group. This list will be updated weekly
by the Chief Engineer responsible for those work groups.
Overtime will be prioritized for award to the person with the least amount of overtime
first within the affected work group per the designations in Article 7.
If no one within that work group signs up for the overtime available, the opportunity will
be made available to the person with the least amount of overtime within the applicable
plant.
Should a situation arise that requires personnel to be called in to backfill an available
shift, the following procedure shall be utilized:
Calls shall be made first to individuals within the work group ( as described in
Article 7) based on the Overtime Equalization List. Calls shall be sequenced
based on the individual's position within the overtime equalization list for that
work group. Calls shall proceed from the individual with the lowest amount of
overtime awarded to the highest.
Members being called to backfill a shift will receive one telephone call to a
designated telephone number. The individual shall have 5 minutes to return the
call and accept the overtime. If no return call is received, the member making the
calls shall proceed to the next individual on the list, until such time as the position
is filled, or all options within the work group are exhausted. It is the individual's
responsibility to designate the telephone number for such calls, and insure the
correct number is on the telephone call list.
Should no individuals bid for the available overtime within the work group, priority shall
be determined by plant membership in prioritizing the award of overtime. The telephone
call procedure for this next level of calls shall be the same as noted above for calls made
within the work group.
12.10 If utilized, it is agreed a 4-10 schedule is subject to the terms and conditions of the
current labor agreement and will operate with the following provisions.

Employees on such schedule shall receive three (3) days off, at least two of which must
be consecutive days off. The two- (2) consecutive days off do not have to be connected
to the weekend.
The third day off may be any other day of the employee's workweek. There shall be no
mixture of a five-day eight-hour (i.e., 5-8) schedule and a 4-10 schedule in the same
workweek. Days off will not be rotated.
All hours worked in excess of ten (10) hours in an employee's work shift or in excess of
forty (40) hours in any employee's workweek shall constitute overtime work and shall be
paid for at the applicable overtime rate of the employee's regular rate of pay.
Payment for jury duty, funeral leave, and sick leave that occur on an employee's regularly
scheduled workday, shall be for ten (10) hour days.
Payment for holidays shall be as follows:
(a) If the holiday falls on an employee's regularly scheduled workday and the
employee does not work, he/she shall be paid ten (10) hours of holiday pay at the
employee's straight-time shift rate.
(b) If the holiday falls on an employee's regularly scheduled day off, he/she shall
observe their holiday on either the first or last day of their regularly scheduled
work week, whichever is closest to the holiday.
(c) If an employee works on the holiday, he/she shall be paid for all hours worked at
the applicable overtime rate plus ten (10) hours of holiday pay at the employee's
straight-time shift rate.
