Special Delegate Assembly Meeting Friday 2/10 at 3PM to Endorse Sunshine Bargaining Document

Your AFT 2121 bargaining team will very soon be negotiating with the District for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, i.e. your new contract.

As an important step in this process, all members are invited to a special Delegate Assembly tomorrow Friday, Feb 10, from 3-5pm on Zoom, to provide feedback on your bargaining team’s Sunshine Document. Attendees will be asked to review the document and consider endorsing it in preparation for its presentation to the Board of Trustees. You can review the document in advance of the meeting by clicking here.

So what is the Sunshine Document? It is AFT 2121’s opening communication to the District that articulates your broad goals for the upcoming contract campaign. This document is aspirational and widely encompasses all areas (e.g. salaries, facilities, class size) on which you wish to negotiate. It is in your interest for this document to be broad.

Your bargaining team will be developing specific proposal language based on your input, which is why now is the moment to fill out your bargaining survey and attend a listening session. Filling out your survey is both about articulating your priorities and empowering your negotiating team-it’s important that your team be able to say their proposals reflect majority faculty opinion.

If you do not have your bargaining survey, contact your precinct rep (see list here), and if you’d like to attend one of the two final listening sessions with members of your bargaining team, RSVP by responding to this email.
