Seattle Commons — The Case For

Why this is a win for SCC Building Unions (IATSE, Teamsters, SEIU)

The Win

The Arch going to Seattle Center doesn't mean your members lose work — it means they potentially work for a different operator in the same building. Seattle Center has well-established union agreements and a track record of labor relations. The transition is manageable if the labor relationship is built in from the start rather than imposed at the end. A busier Arch means more events, more shifts, and a more stable contract environment than a building that sits dark most of the year.
