SEATTLE — When Seattle’s police guild and the city signed a contract in June, both sides said the union had accepted all 29 recommendations of a citizen panel to hold officers more accountable.
In the process, the guild won hefty pay increases for its officers, and the two sides appeared headed for smooth sailing.
But both sides reached agreement with a different understanding over what could be one of the most important provisions of the contract: whether the public has a right to the names of officers who have been disciplined.
