CSEA and the District met again to continue negotiations on February 18, 2010. Although we are officially in impasse, we can continue to work on reaching agreement on our outstanding issues.

The discussions centered around the District’s needs for cost savings and the Chapter’s need to provide job security for our unit members.

Although no new tentative agreements were reached on any issues, we do feel we may be closer in concept on some of the articles currently in contention.

The CSEA team will be meeting again with the District on Wednesday February 24. Please check our website for additional information as it becomes available, or to ask any questions you may have.

Support your team!!! Wear blue on Wednesday Feb. 24!

“At the request of the District, your Chapter bargaining team will meet again with District negotiators this Thursday to discuss our re-opener negotiations – despite the existence of an impasse between the parties. Your Chapter bargaining team remains committed to preserving classified employment and averting layoffs in these negotiations. Following the conclusion of our negotiations on Thursday, an update will be posted to this site.”

It has been asked: “If there were a retirement Incentive offered How many of the Classified would be interested?”
Please click here to participate in our non binding online survey to give your Negotiation Team a realistic idea from which departments and how many people would consider taking an incentive If it were offered.
It also gives the District valuable information to help them decide when such a incentive would be most beneficial to both the Classified unit and the District. Retirement Incentives can be a useful tool to avoid layoffs.

“Please take one minute to complete a survey regarding a possible early retirement incentive.

Question:
What exactly is the district objecting to?

Answer:
It is not as simple a reply as “The District objects to X”
There are many factors in the proposal that we presented to the District on Feb. 3.
On Monday February 8th, 5:15 p.m, at the Chapter meeting, we will go over the proposal in what detail we may and explain the impasse process.
We will be having the meeting at the ESC, Located at 4999 Casa Loma, Yorba Linda, in the old boardroom.
I invite you to attend and bring your colleagues and questions.
I want to thank you on behalf of the whole team for your support and interest.
