After a grueling two-plus-year negotiation process, the CFCP Negotiations Team is relieved to inform you that we are now ready to provide a series of tentative agreements for you to review and then vote on by members in good standing.   

In total, we reached tentative agreements with the District on 23 articles listed below. You can click the link provided to read each redlined article showing new language that, if ratified, will replace existing language in the new contract. Here are the articles on which you will vote:

Here are some highlights to be found in the new contract once the membership ratifies it:

• Expanded protection of Classified Professionals when working in extreme temperatures.

• Compensation for Classified Professionals when required to remain on the worksite during times of extraordinary events (i.e., fires/smoke, civil unrest, threat to public safety).

• Codified Remote Work terms.

• Recognition of Juneteenth as a holiday.

• Greater definitions around bullying and harassment.

• Codification of the Work Experience Program.

• Continuation of COLA.

 

Additionally, the team campaigned tenaciously for compensation increases, but the District was adamant in rejecting any and all economic enhancements at this time due to their projections of flattening revenues and budget deficits. CFCP does retain the right to re-open negotiations on economic considerations, as well as other matters, in years two and three of the proposed contract.

The negotiation team will schedule a series of virtual and in-person meetings. These meetings will offer a space to address any questions or concerns you may have. The dates and locations for these meetings will be published soon. 

These tentative agreements are the result of the diligent work of Quintin Powell, our Chief Negotiator who relentlessly defended classified professionals and challenged “district math” at every turn, CFCP President Andrew Deaso, who held a pivotal role by protecting and improving worker’s rights as well as the rest of the negotiations team: Jamie Crowder, Michael Carrizo, Kevin Donahue, Therese Grande, and Vanessa Ayala.  Furthermore, we thank our negotiations research team for providing the necessary and invaluable information needed to help build counter-proposals that would strengthen contract language.

​

You will receive an email with details regarding the upcoming ratification vote, which will be electronically using an independent and secure website.  

 

We want to thank everyone for their patience and the confidence you have placed in your leadership team.
