On Tuesday, Aug. 18, the King County Council voted unanimously to approve your interim collective bargaining agreement that was negotiated earlier this year. This includes a 1.5 percent wage increase for the first six months of 2020 plus an additional 1.5 percent wage increase for the last six months of 2020. Wage increases are retroactive to Jan. 1, 2020. Look for this wage increase in September or no later than October.

All supervisors in the bargaining unit are eligible for these wage increases. Understand that we will begin contract bargaining again in September for a new contract. If you want a better contract with better benefits, you should be a member. If you are not, there is no better time to join.
