MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
By and between the
CITY OF KENT
And
TEAMSTERS LOCAL UNION No. 117
Affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to memorialize an agreement
between the City of Kent ("City") and Teamsters Local Union No. 117 ("Union").
The parties agree to the following:
1. Contract Extension. The parties have agreed to rollover all language of the
current collective bargaining agreement ("Agreement") and Memoranda of
Understanding ("MOU's") except for the items listed below, which shall
supersede the current Agreement. The current Agreement will therefore be
extended and will expire on December 31, 2009.
2. Wages. Effective January 1, 2009, members of the bargaining unit will
receive two and eight-tenth of one percent (2.8%) for the Cost of Living
Adjustment ("COLA"). Effective July 1, 2009, members of the bargaining
unit will receive an amount equivalent to the remainder of five and six-tenth
of one percent (5.60/o), which is approximately two and seventy two one
hundredth of one percent (2.720/o), for COLA for 2009 in addition to the two
and eight-tenth of one percent (2.8%) received on January 1, 2009.
3. Negotiation for Successor Agreement. In March 2009, the parties agree
to commence negotiation for a successor Agreement.
4. Recruitment and Retention. During the life of this Agreement, through
December 31, 2009, the parties agree to continue reviewing wage
adjustments necessary to address recruitment and retention issues for
bargaining unit positions.
5. "Me Too for Wages. If any other non-public safety employee group, i.e.
AFSCME or non-represented, receive a more favorable economic package for
the 2009 calendar year, such favorable conditions shall apply in the same
fashion to this bargaining unit.
6. Alternative Work Schedule. The parties agree that members of the
bargaining unit shall have access to the nine-eighty's (9/80's) work schedule
if the majority of the work group elects this option. This means the Parks
Department employees shall continue their 9/80's schedule. Members
working in the Public Works Department, except those work units who wish
to be exempted from this schedule, shall change to a 9/80's work schedule
starting on December 29, 2008. These alternative work schedules will
remain in effect for the remainder of this Agreement unless they are modified
by mutual agreement between the City and the Union through Joint
Labor/Management Committee. With fourteen (14) calendar days' written
notice, the City reserves its right to revert back to the normal five-eight's
(5/8's) work schedule if issues of safety or departmental operating need arise
to justify such change. It is understood that the parties will revisit this issue
during the negotiation of the successor Agreement.
7. Personal Day Off. Regular full time employees of the bargaining unit shall
receive one (1) eight-hour day off with pay. Regular part-time employees of
the bargaining unit shall receive the equivalent one (1) day off with pay that
is pro-rated based on the employee's budgeted percentage of a full time
position. This day off with pay shall be separate from the vacation, sick
leave, or holiday leave currently contained in the Agreement. This day off
with pay shall have no cash value and must be used within the 2009 calendar
year. Scheduling of this day off shall be subject to management approval to
ensure that there will be no increase in overtime, no additional cost to the
City, and no impact to the work unit's level of service. There shall be no carry
over of the unused day off or any portion thereof unless unforeseeable
events or the inability to maintain adequate staffing precludes the employee
from taking the time off. Such carry over exceptions shall be reviewed and
approved by the Employee Services Director on a non-precedent setting
case-by-case basis, as is currently the practice for excess vacation accrual.
The above contains all terms and conditions agreed to by the parties.
Signed this /S�< day of January 2009.
