Faculty are asking…
Q: What is happening at the bargaining table?
A: Sadly, not enough! Despite a commitment from Chancellor Martin and his team to wrap up bargaining last summer, there have been too few sessions, and too few answers to our proposals. At the last session, we were supposed to discuss the college’s budget, but the person–V.C. John Al-Amin–who developed the budget and has the knowledge necessary to meaningfully discuss it, chose not even to attend our session.

Q: What if the District continues with these kinds of tactics?
A: Your union has already filed yet another “Unfair Labor Practice” with the Public Employee Relations Board (after winning one last semester). Even a legal finding does not seem to have changed their approach. Faculty speaking in unison for a fair process and a fair contract–not just at the bargaining table, but at the Board of Trustees, together–will increase the pressure.
Q: What’s the point of this rally on Oct. 26th?
A: You need to show college leaders that faculty are ready to strike for a fair contract, competitive salaries, and respect. It’s been three years since you had a raise. This can’t go on. RSVP for the Rally this Thursday at 5pm at MUB: https://bit.ly/Oct26MUB
