LCC Faculty Colleagues –
With only two sessions at the table left …
Still ZERO movement from the Administration on core issues of compensation, benefits, workload, and job security.
Instead, at today’s bargaining session, the Administration again brought virtually no substantive changes to any proposal. At this point, we have real doubts that the Administration wants to reach an agreement.
What the Administration did was present an erroneous, misleading cost analysis of our proposal. For example, the only cost for our Art. 9 proposal is the addition of 4 hours of inservice pay for part-time faculty, which would cost only $48,650. They claimed it would cost more than $1.3 million! Their other estimates were also grossly inflated.
To demonstrate good faith, we made numerous updated proposals to meet the Administration’s interests and use our limited remaining bargaining time wisely. See below for links to proposals:
Administration Proposals Nov. 18 20205
They agreed to accept two minor concessions we had already made last week in eliminating three more MOAs and finalizing the Academic Program Review article.
Thank you very much to the many members in the room today. Please join us in building 2, room 214 for the last two sessions before the seemingly inevitable next step of mediation.
- Tues., Dec 2, 1-4 p.m.
- Tues., Dec 16, 1-4 p.m.
Now is the time for members to step up the pressure before it’s too late. Look for an email from the Action Team to do your part.
