Item No. 09 229
Date: 6-22-09
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Collective Bargaining
Agreement between the City of Bangor and AFSCME, Council 93, Local 656
Representing Ramp Supervisors, Ramp Attendants, and Shift Leads at Bangor
International Airport
Responsible Department: Executive
Commentary: Labor negotiations with BIA Ramp Supervisors, Ramp Attendants, and Shift
Leads have resulted in a Tentative Agreement between the City and Union Negotiating
Committees. In reaching this agreement, the parties used the services of an independent
mediator and factfinding panel. This agreement follows the June 30, 2008 expiration of the most
recent contract between the City and the Union. Major points of significance include: a three
year term; wage adjustments of 3% year one, 3% year two, and 31/4% year three;
establishment of CIGNA health insurance plans, cost sharing base plan, and rates; all references
to part-time employees deleted from the contract; counseling added to progressive discipline
steps; increase in the boot allowance to $140, $145, and $150 over the three-year term; and
other routine housekeeping changes in several other articles.
This Agreement has been reached within the bargaining guidelines previously established by the
City Council. The Union has recently voted to ratify the proposed agreement and it is now ready
for Council Consideration. This has been reviewed on several occasions in Executive Session
with the Council, and it is presented with the recommendation of the Management Negotiating
Committee (Harry Courtois, Rebecca Hupp, and Tony Caruso).
A copy of the entire agreement is provided under separate cover in the Council's packet.
