We have a Tentative Agreement (TA)!

Several pictures of PROTEC17 and other union coalition members stand together at various actions throughout the past year and a half. The text at the bottom reads, "TENTATIVE AGREEMENT REACHED!" The Coalition of City Unions (CCU) logo is pictured bottom right.

After more than a year of negotiations with the City of Seattle, we have reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) on our 2023-2026 contract with the City of Seattle!

It was our commitment to #RSPCT, along with the unwavering solidarity of our partners in the Coalition of City Unions (CCU), that got us to a deal that our bargaining team is very proud of!

Some highlights from our TA:

  • 2023 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA): 5% (to be paid retroactively)
  • 2024 COLA: 4.5%
  • 2025 COLA: 100% of the CPI-W, with a min. of 2% and max. of 4%
  • 2026 COLA: 1% + 100% of the CPI-W, min. of 2% and max of 4%
  • Market wage adjustments for over 170 classifications
  • Boot Allowance: $300 in 2023, $325 in 2024, $350 in 2025, $375 in 2026
  • Shift differential pay: An additional $1.25/hour for swing shift, $1.75/hour for graveyard shift
  • Overtime meal reimbursement increase
  • Improved vacation accrual changes
  • Improved bereavement/funeral leave changes
  • Creation of a dependent care task force
  • Improvements to the grievance process
  • Improvements to contracting out language

Stay tuned for an email (in your personal email) after the holidays with a list of information sessions, TA details, and logistics for the voting process. As a reminder, if the contract is ratified by the membership, it will then need to go to Seattle City Council for final approval. If you have questions about the process or the TA, please reach out to a member of your bargaining team.

When we fight, WE WIN! ✊
