Community College Coalition Bargaining Team  August 18, 2010 

Our team has been successful holding the

line on management takeaways, and has

made improvements on some articles.

At our August 17-18 sessions we TA’d

(reached tentative agreement) on nine addi-

tional articles:

Article 6 - Performance Evaluations•

Article 7 - Hours of Work•

Article 19 - Leave Without Pay•

Article 21 - Uniforms, Tools and•

Equipment

Article25-LicensureandCertifcation•

Article 29 - Discipline•

Article 30 - Grievance Procedure•

Article 51 - Entire Agreement•

Article 54 - Term of Agreement•

While we are working hard, management

seems to be stalling. In the proposal/

counterproposal process, we’re passing

more articles to management than theyare returning to us. For example, we have

about eight articles on our side of the table

that we are considering, and management

has more than double that amount on their

side.

It’s time to display our strength, unity.

WE ARE ALL THE UNION- Merrie Raymond-Haskey

CCC Bargaining Team

member

I was once referred to as

“the union girl.”

My response was “we

are all the union.”

It doesn’t matter if you sit behind a desk

or push a broom. Every person is “the

union.”

Every person can have a voice. Some just

don’t always know where to share that

voice. Bargaining is just one avenue to

have your voice heard.

Wearing a button, wearing a green shirt,

attending a meeting, making a phone call

to legislators - each of these acts make a

difference.

We are all the union!

“Here we sit with only

four days to go and it

seems as if we are not

any closer than the

frstonsomeissues.”

HEALTH CARE ALERT!

“The union’s strength lies with our mem-

bers. Contract gains are not won at the

bargaining table, they are won away from

the table through visible displays of unity

and support of the membership.

“To date, management has not made any

signicant movement on any of the major

issues. It’s time to display our strength...”

Kurt Spiegel, WFSE Lead Negotiato

The Governor wants employees to pay a

bigger share of health care costs.

They want to hike your premiums 117%• .

In health care bargaining (8/24/10),

management formally proposed to raise

premiums from 12% to 26%.

Or,• TRIPLE other health care costs.

The state said the only alternative is

hiking family deductibles from $750

per family per year to $2,100 per fam-

ily per year!
