Last week we temporarily stopped the class cuts and compel the district to come to the negotiating table. This afternoon, just four days before classes start, we reached an agreement.
Class Size and Enrollment
- Credit classes with a minimum of 10 will be allowed to run for the first two weeks of the semester.
- Noncredit classes will be allowed to run for the first four weeks of the semester regardless of enrollment.
- The class size minimum for Fall 2020 will be 15 instead of 20.
- The District will implement in-person registration. This will greatly extend our reach to English language learners and non-credit students.
Medical Benefits
Class cuts can mean that faculty who work part-time lose their medical benefits during a global pandemic. Our agreement with the District:
- Everyone who had benefits as of August 1st is eligible for those benefits to continue through Fall, even if your classes are cut.
- Everyone who had benefits in Spring 2020 is eligible for benefits in Fall 2020, even if you’ve been laid off.
Fine print: If you’re completely laid off, you’ll need to arrange to pay the employee portion of the premium – whatever they would normally deduct from your paycheck. If you’re in Kaiser employee only, there’s no cost. But if you had a cost, HR will contact you about how to arrange the payment. We don’t know how they’ll arrange it.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, wrote letters, and helped keep the pressure on! This agreement couldn’t have happened without you.
