      Police union collective bargaining and private arbitration have historically posed major obstacles to accountability. ex: Seattle drafted one of the best police accountability ordinances in the country but 3 years later, important parts of it have been blocked from happening.

      Why? Because of collective bargaining, the city agreed to demands that parts of the ordinance be scrapped. This problem is not unique to Seattle. SB 5134 would remove certain measures from collective bargaining so that critical changes like these cannot be undone.

      Private arbitration is also a major barrier. It allows disciplinary action against officers to be overturned or changed altogether. Officers terminated for excessive force are routinely reinstated through private arbitration allowed by the collective bargaining contract.

      For example, In 2018, private arbitration led to the reinstatement of Seattle Police Officer Adley Shepherd, who was fired for punching a handcuffed woman in the face and fracturing her eye.

      ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We support SB 5134 because it is an essential part of the package of bills for 2021 aimed at strengthening police accountability.
