As your union President, I do not consider it my job to get involved in politics or to advance any particular political agenda. My focus is on improving the benefits, safely and working conditions of the 1200 Full and Part-time faculty who serve nearly 30,000 students in our three community colleges. The only excursion into the political arena is your union’s work to help elect members to the Board of Trustees who will listen to faculty. These are candidates who run in a non-partisan election.

Our COPE Endorsement for Board of Trustee Election in Area 1

8/6/2018

 
Note: The below information was submitted by Paula Munoz your hard-working AFT Local 1828 Executive Council member consistently elected to be the COPE Chair (Committee on Political Education) by union members. She assembled a committee this summer comprised of faculty who volunteered to serve. After interviewing candidates who asked to be interviewed for endorsements, a recommendation was made. This endorsement recommendation was approved by the overwhelming majority of faculty who make extra voluntary contributions to COPE funding to assist your union in supporting persons for the Board of Trustees who will be competent trustees and who will recognize the value of our faculty.

Your AFT Local1828 has endorsed Joshua Chancer for VCCCD Area I Trustee. Joshua has been an Oxnard High Social Sciences teacher for 18 years. He has been an Oxnard Federation of Teachers and School Employees Local 1273 site representative and is currently the certificated VP. He also is an adjunct professor at CLU. He attended Ventura College, San Diego State (BA in Social Studies) and has a Master's in Education from National University. He and his family reside in Ventura. ​

Benefits of Union Membership

8/5/2018

 
You are not alone in the workplace!!!

Note: As educators we are serious about learning. Take a few moments to go over the below benefits. Besides the below overview, you can visit the AFT member benefit page for expansive links to your services.

​Security on the job

Post Janus your union will continue to be the collective bargaining unit for all faculty. But contract negotiations are only a part of security on the job. When a student makes a complaint, when there are issues with an evaluation, or with a tenure committee, injury on the job, payroll issues or the assignment of classes based on the part-time longevity list or other perceived mis-management… you will want to have individual attention and the support of your union’s Executive Council members. Whether it be the President, Chief Grievance Chair or any of the 2 VP’s at each campus, they want to be there for you. But in the post Janus era, these individualized services are paid for by union dues and reserved for union members.
