We’re pleased to be able to report progress: Last Friday, July 9, the district agreed that for Fall 2020 through Spring 2021, full time load balances resulting from the cancellation of classes directly due to COVID will be settled using COVID relief funds. We’re going back and forth with counter-proposals about class size, but the latest version from the District contained an important win for us. The district agreed to run classes for two weeks in credit and four weeks for noncredit before cancellation, like last year. However, the district has not budged regarding minimum class size. They want to bring it back up to 20. We need you to help change that.
Last semester, we fought layoffs through collective action, and protected our classes and our jobs. The fight over class size is a fight to save jobs and courses, and like before, you need to take action, to show up and make your voice heard, to protect the resources we know our community needs.
To keep the minimum class size at 15, we need you to stand with your fellow faculty at open bargaining this Friday, July 16, at noon. Register in advance and make your voice heard. Your presence will show the district that this is an important issue for all faculty, from all departments. The district needs to see that members care about the importance of keeping the minimum at 15.
Open bargaining:
Friday, 7/16, noon
Register in advance for the meeting (If you registered for the 7/6 or 7/9 sessions, your link will also work for Friday 7/16)
In unity,
