Council 2 gains 63 new membersSIXTY-THREE employees of the Spokane International Airport’s parking division are Council 2’s newest members. The employees, responsible for the management of parking facilities at the airport, voted December 22 to join the Union. They will form Local 1135-AP. Dean Vercruysse, Staff Representative in Spokane, said the bargaining committee has submitted the draft of a new contract to the airport management as a basis for negotiations to start. A unit clarification hearing is scheduled for May 3 and 4 on a dispute over whether the holders of six full-time positions should be included in the bargaining unit. The new Local has elected Gina Amo as president, Jerry Carlos as vice president, and Lois Wilson, John Burrows and Dorothy Baker as stewards. Spokane Airport maintenance employees already are Council 2 members. Local 2699, which consists of Columbia River Mental Health employees in Vancouver has successfully completed its first contract, which was ratified by the members on November 14. The City of Longview Police Support Staff, Local 1262-CL have successfully negotiated a contract which was ratified on November 28. |
