• FA presented its proposal for PT Health Care to the District. The District asked clarity questions during presentation.
• District proposed “Clean up” language for Article 11: Grievance Procedures. FA responded to the proposal with small changes to clean-up language and an assertion that we would be submitting an additional proposal at a later date regarding substance of this Article.

Next Scheduled Negotiations Meeting: July 22, 2022To view negotiations materials from the District, visit the PCC Union Contracts page.

Between scheduled negotiations meetings with the District, your FA Negotiations Team has been meeting to draft proposals, review district proposals, respond with counter proposals, conduct research, and to meet with potentially impacted faculty constituents. We continue to fight on behalf of all Faculty in our efforts to secure an equitable and fair contract.
