Table Talk

​Facts:

  • The District’s proposal asks Classified employees who retire with a PPO to pay $400 more per month than faculty pay.

  • The Board of Trustees received a 5% increase in December after going 8-years without a raise.

  • Classified Employees have not had a raise in over 8-years.

  • The District proposes if you get sick, instead of receiving short-term
    disability after 14 days that you wait until you have been out for 30
    days. This means that you will lose 50% of your salary when you are
    most vulnerable.

  • July 1, 2016 the Vice Chancellors received a minimum of 6.5% pay increases!!!

  • The District has informed CFCE that the Manager’s Classifications Compensation Study is going to be implemented regardless of if they implement the Classified study.

  • CFCE has continually requested that the District bring in a mediator to further the discussions at the table. The District has chosen instead to file an unfair practice charge through PERB.

  • CFCE has proposed a new longevity schedule based on the District’s proposed 9-step salary schedule.

  • The District, CFCE, and CFE have a past practice of all employees paying the same for health benefits plans and making changes based on the recommendations made by the District Benefits Advisory Committee.
