Part-Time Faculty Employment Letters

Like last semester, the District just mailed employment letters to part-time faculty asking us to accept our Spring assignments. These letters do not change the existing terms of employment or contractual part-time faculty employment rights.

The language of the letter does not actively misstate the law. But it only references the Education Code so it paints an incomplete picture. Part-time faculty also have contractual rights that protect assignments and employment in various ways. The District once again did not consult or inform AFT 2121 before sending these letters.

Although the letter instructs us to sign that we “accept” the “contract,” we are not required to do so.

Sign Up Today for a Listening Session w/ Members of your AFT 2121 Bargaining Team

AFT 2121 will be negotiating your next contract with the district soon. This is an opportunity for you to have a voice and a chance to fight for the salary, workload, schedule, job stability, and general working conditions you deserve and that your students count on.

Have a question, idea, or comment regarding these negotiations that you want to share directly with members of your AFT 2121 bargaining team? Then reply to this email with the listening session you would like to attend (see list below). AFT 2121 members will be on hand to discuss, and sessions will be offered both in person and online.
