Negotiations Update

AFT 1493 Chief Negotiator Joaquin Rivera and fellow negotiators Katharine Harer, Victoria Clinton, and Sandi Raeber Dorsett have worked hard over this past year in their collective bargaining efforts with the District.  However, the District has rejected all proposals, which include non-monetary items such as binding arbitration, and has asked for multiple take-backs (see September 2010 Advocate article, "Negotiations Deadlocked: District Offering Nothing but Takebacks").

 

Collective Bargaining Negotiations Survey


Description: survey2With negotiations deadlocked and at a stand still, the negotiations team would like your input on AFT bargaining priorities and what you feel should be the next course of action. Your feedback on this issue is extremley critical to our negotiations team, which would like faculty from as wide a range as possible to respond.
