Mt. SAC FA

An affiliate of CCA/CTA/NEA, we serve the faculty of Mt. SAC. We do not officially represent the college.

Your leaders are learning at the CTA Region 3 Leadership Conference. Do you want to learn about what we do? Ask Pres. Joan Sholars about attending a CCA conference in February or April.

It's not looking good for Oakland teachers. Let's hope their district settles soon.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Teachers in my hometown of Oakland will begin striking tomorrow because they know they deserve a raise. It's shameful that they don’t earn enough to live in the communities where they teach. I firmly support the teachers & hope for a quick resolution. https://t.co/3asxopSY89

As a reminder, CTA is strongly supporting Tony Thurmond for Superintendent of Public Instruction. This position oversees county offices of education, which oversee fiscal aspects of most local community colleges. Vote for Tony!

Negotiations finally over for this year -- sort of. 2.71% pay increase, a few nice benefits for adjuncts, but medical benefits and any one-time payments have been postponed to January.

[Mt. SAC FA @MSACFA]

Thanks to Prof. Tom Edson for sending me this link -- while Mark Janus may not wish to be supported by his union, his union has certainly worked to support him.

The proposed State budget includes 2.51% for COLA but no new money for STRS contributions. A new online college is proposed as is a move away from FTES funding. These are aggressive changes to our structure.

[Mt. SAC FA @MSACFA]

Oops. The workshop at Mt. SAC mentioned in the last post is on 23 March.
