Legislation Title: |
|
AN ORDINANCE relating to City employment; authorizing the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Seattle, City Light Department and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 77, City Light Unit reducing the hours of the Lineworker Apprenticeship Program and adjusting associated salary steps and rates of pay; revising language of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement; and ratifying and confirming prior acts.

· Summary of the Legislation:
The attached Council Bill authorizes the execution of the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Seattle, City Light Department and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 77, City Light Unit (hereafter referred to as “IBEW, Local 77”) reducing the hours of the Lineworker Apprenticeship Program, adjusting associated salary steps and rates of pay, and revising language of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
· Background: (Include brief description of the purpose and context of legislation and include record of previous legislation and funding history, if applicable):
This Bill addresses City Light’s continued difficulty with filling journey-level Lineworker positions due to a nation-wide shortage of skilled workers in the electrical trade. In order to fill position vacancies as quickly as possible, the City and IBEW, Local 77 approached the Washington State Apprenticeship & Training Council to discuss restructuring the Lineworker Apprenticeship Program to allow for a reduction in the number of threshold hours for apprentices to complete the program, while still meeting overall State minimum hour requirements. The Washington State Apprenticeship & Training Council, the City and IBEW, Local 77 have reached an agreement on a three-year program. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding amends the IBEW, Local 77 labor agreement to reflect changes to Apprentice salary steps and rates of pay necessary to fully implement changes to the Lineworker Apprenticeship Program.
