Labor Relations Tools

If you’re still in contract negotiations with some of your bargaining units, remember that AWC has a number of publications and online resources that can help.

2008 AWC Washington City and County Employee Salary Survey - $150

This comprehensive survey includes salaries paid to more than 120 job classifications in city and county governments, plus information on the major benefit programs offered to employees. Cities and other AWC members received at least one free copy of the survey. Others, including unions, may purchase it for $150. To order, go to www.awcnet.org/forms/orderpublication.asp.

2008 Police/Fire Compensation Survey - $50

This survey contains detailed police and fire salary and benefit data and is available to management representatives only. The survey results are available in an online reporting tool, allowing you to choose your own comparable jurisdictions and easily generate customized reports. Go to www.awcnet.org/forms/PForder.pdf for a copy of the order form.

Online Labor Contracts

Many police and fire labor contracts are available on AWC’s online Labor Contracts and Arbitration Decisions Database, which is available to management representatives in cities and to others who purchase the Police/Fire Compensation Survey.

Please contact Deanna Krell at deannak@awcnet.org or 360-753-4137 if you have any questions about these resources and how to purchase and/or access them.

If you’ve recently settled a contract with your police or fire unions, please e-mail a copy and it will be posted online.
