LCC Faculty Colleagues –

To begin with, your faculty bargaining team cannot underscore this point enough: if faculty don’t want to lose the benefits and protections of our contract,* maximum faculty participation and engagement in collective action are necessary.

Please join us at the Fall Welcome at the Bier Stein at 5:15 on September 18 and the All Faculty Meeting on September 25 at 1:30 in 19/104. We must stand together.

We say all of this after meeting with the Administration again today for bargaining after a 2.5 month hiatus.

We proposed to reduce or incorporate nine MOAs in a good faith effort to address the Administration’s interest in simplifying and consolidating MOAs. We also presented an updated Privacy Rights proposal, protecting faculty privacy and ensuring the College can fulfill its legal obligations. (See LCCEA’s proposals here.)

By contrast, the Administration proposed only one small timeline change to one proposal, which would mean HR would share legally required information with LCCEA two weeks earlier than currently required (link). Aside from this minor adjustment, the Administration made no other new proposals on any topic.

Thank you to everyone who made it to bargaining today! At this time, we only have the following seven remaining dates scheduled for bargaining. Please join us in Building 2, Room 214 for part or all of any session.

• Tues., Sept 30, 1-4 p.m.
• Tues., Oct 14, 1-4 p.m.
• Tues., Oct 28, 1-4 p.m.
• Mon., Nov 10, 2-5 p.m.
• Tues., Nov 18, 1-4 p.m.
• Tues., Dec 2, 1-4 p.m.
• Tues., Dec 16, 1-4 p.m.

We look forward to seeing you soon, and please look for more information from the Action Team about ways to support faculty goals for our contract.

Your LCCEA Bargaining Team Leads,
