MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

BY AND BETWEEN

UNITED ASSOCIATION LOCAL #32

OF JOURNEYMEN AND APPRENTICES OF THE PLUMBING AND PIPE FITTING INDUSTRY

OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

AND

THE PORT OF SEATTLE
---_.___.__________________

It is the desire of the Port of Seattle Marine Maintenance Shop to provide fair and
equitable benets to all shop
stewards within the union locals covered by the Maintenance Agreement Addendum between the Port of
Seattle and
the Seattle Building and Construction Trades Council (Building Trades
Agreement).
This includes plumbers, who are effectively employed
as full time employees, but wish to remain at the temporary
emergency-hire states. As such they are governed by the terms of the Labor/Management Agreement between
United Local #32 ofJoumeyrnen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe
Fitting Industry of the United States and
Canada (Local #32 Agreement).

Other temporary emergencylure employees are governed by the terms of their
respective agreements, which do not
contain comparable benets for shop stewards. Other full time employees
are governed by the Building Trades
Agreement, which again, does not contain comparable benets for shop stewards
This creates a disparityin benets
for shop stewardsin all cases.

To remain fair and consistent, exemption is necessary from sections of Article IX
Shop and Job Steward Rules as
addressedin the Local #32 Agreement. Terms of the Local # 32 Agreement requiring exemption in the Port of
Seattle Marine Maintenance Shop includes the following sections of Article IX: The last
sentence of Section 1 and
a_ll of Section 6, as outlined below.

Section 1. The last sentence only, which reads; "The Steward shall be included on all overtime work provided he is
competent and capable ofperforming the work required."

Section 6. ALL of Section 6, including language that implies
a Shop Steward shall be the last person on the crew to
be laid off. This is inconsistent with our fair and equitable treatment of all employees.
