Negotiations Update
Dear Full Time Faculty,
Our last negotiations session was held this past Monday, April 26th from 2:30p.m.-6:30p.m.
Your CCA Negotiations Team, as a result of the benefits survey and extensive and thoughtful discussion, informed the District that we would accept NO CHANGES to the health benefits packages for 2010-2011. That means that your benefits will remain the same for next year.
As a result, the District came back proposing an immediate need to cut ALL CCA bargaining unit salaries by 7.27% as of July 1, 2010, that was an increase from the original 4.615%.
The District notified us that IF CCA is willing to accept a temporary pay cut of 4.615% as of 7/1/10, along with other non cost proposals, the District is willing to immediately reopen on 2010/2011 salary on 9/1/2010 so that both CCA and the District have time to revisit the unaudited actual expenses, the May Revise by the State and and other state funds promised to the District.
At that time in September, if the amount of the pay cut needs to be adjusted EITHER WAY - UP or DOWN, either party can negotiate that change, as well as entertain economic cost proposals at that time.
We cancelled Friday's negotiation session because we wanted to talk to YOU. The CCA Executive Board has been calling you at home and at work to explain the situation, answer your questions, and ask you what you are willing to do to protect your salary and benefits. Please try to make yourself available for their call.
The Executive Board will meet on Monday to go over our findings from the calls. All Faculty SOS Meetings have been called for Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 12-1 pm at LAC in T-1200 and Thursday, May 13, 2010, 12-1pm at PCC in Dyer Hall.
We need to hear from you, let your Rep Council member know and make sure that your Representative is present at the next Rep Council meeting, May 10th, for the Budget Presentation. This is our opportunity for clarification and in-depth inquiry. Now is the time for you to think about the future of your profession and your future at LBCC.
We want to thank you for your patience and confidence in our efforts.
Your CCA Team,
Charlotte Joseph, Greg Mortensen and Robin Devitt (CCA Staff)
