Last Week to Fill Out the Bargaining Survey–Share What Matters Most to You!

We head to the bargaining table this week for salary restoration, and you have until Friday, March 10, to submit the Bargaining Survey for our full collective bargaining agreement (aka “the contract”), which we will begin bargaining on shortly. Now is your chance to share your priorities and concerns with your bargaining team. (Link: https://bit.ly/BargainSurvey)

Why should I fill out one more survey?

• It’s essential that all faculty fill out the bargaining survey so that you have a voice in the bargaining process. It also gives us, your bargaining team, credibility to be able to say that our proposals reflect majority faculty opinion, but we can only say that if you fill out your survey today. https://bit.ly/BargainSurvey

I’m not sure if I already filled it out…

• This is the same bargaining survey that has been available since December. However, if you aren’t sure you filled it out, you can go ahead and submit it. Any duplicate submissions will be deleted before results are tallied.

I don’t think my voice is important in this contract campaign.

• Every faculty voice at City College of San Francisco is important in this campaign. If you want to win big at the table, it will take all of our voices together. We need to hear from full and part timers, credit and noncredit, department chairs and new hires, instructional and non-instructional faculty. The survey is open to non-members, so every faculty member can and should fill it out. This is the first step of our campaign, and it is only the beginning of our growing work together, so lift your voice and join the chorus of your colleagues!

The final deadline is March 10. Check in with colleagues at FLEX day meetings to make sure everyone has the link and has filled out the survey. Together, we can win a great contract!

OPEN BARGAINING: Monday 3/6

We return to the bargaining table on Monday!

We are not yet at the point of negotiating our full contract. That will happen after the District completes its side of the legally required sunshine process. (AFT’s sunshine document was passed by our DA and presented to the District on 2/16. You can read it here.) In this early round of negotiations, your bargaining team will present proposals about critical issues outside of our regular contract:

— RESTORATION OF WAGE CONCESSIONS. When we took wage concessions in the 21-22 academic year, part of the agreement was that if more funding became available, we would go back to the table. Now we have the budgeted actuals from the concessionary year, and it’s time to demand our money back!

— MEDICAL INSURANCE EXPANSION. The state has dedicated $200 million in ongoing, stable funding for colleges to expand the number of faculty eligible for medical insurance. We can bring in new money to the District, cover existing costs, and expand coverage all at once. More details here.

All members welcome! Come show the District that faculty are ready to fight for what we deserve.
