Estimados miembros del capítulo:
Nuestro equipo ha presentado su propuesta, la cual incluye un aumento continuo del 2.9% en la escala salarial retroactivo al 1 de enero de 2026, una Cláusula Me Too, pago doble en días festivos, y un ajuste a los topes de los beneficios de Salud y Bienestar de la siguiente manera: $10,000 para plan individual, $19,580 para plan individual más uno, y $25,430 para plan familiar.
En este momento, el Distrito no ha respondido con una contrapropuesta. La fecha de la próxima reunión de negociaciones aún está por determinarse. Continuaremos manteniendo informada a la membresía conforme se disponga de más información.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo.
Dear Chapter Members,
The District has presented a proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would change how seniority is calculated for chapter members—from total hours worked to date of hire. Currently Seniority is determined by the amount of hours worked.
At this time, no decision has been made. We are conducting this SURVEY ONLY to determine how many members would agree with changing seniority from hours to date of hire.
If a sufficient number of members express interest in this change, the MOU would then be brought forward for a vote at a future chapter or special meeting. If there is not enough interest, we will notify the District that the chapter will not be introducing the MOU for a membership vote.
This is a membership-run chapter, and decisions such as this are made by you—the chapter members.
We strongly encourage you to complete the survey and share your input.
Please submit the survey no later than February 5, 2026. https://forms.gle/TuWgNFTxDxLtQ8mf8
Thank you for your participation and for helping guide the direction of our chapter.
*****************************************************************************
Estimados Miembros del Capítulo:
El Distrito ha presentado una propuesta de Memorándum de Entendimiento (MOU) para cambiar la manera en que se calcula la antigüedad de los miembros del capítulo, pasando de horas trabajadas a fecha de contratación. Actualmente, la antigüedad se determina por la cantidad de horas trabajadas.
En este momento, no se ha tomado ninguna decisión. Esta ENCUESTA se realiza UNICAMENTE para determinar cuántos miembros estarían de acuerdo con cambiar la antigüedad de horas trabajadas a fecha de contratación.
Si un número suficiente de miembros expresa interés en este cambio, el MOU se presentará posteriormente para votación en una próxima reunión del capítulo. Si no hay suficiente interés, se le notificará al Distrito que el capítulo nopresentará el MOU para votación de los miembros.
Este es un capítulo dirigido por sus miembros, y decisiones como esta son tomadas por ustedes, los miembros del capítulo. Les recomendamos encarecidamente que completen la encuesta y compartan su opinión.
Favor de completar la encuesta a más tardar el 5 de febrero de 2026. https://forms.gle/TuWgNFTxDxLtQ8mf8
Gracias por su participación y por ayudar a guiar el rumbo de nuestro capítulo.

Estimados Miembros del Capítulo,
Hoy su Comité de Negociaciones se reunió con el Distrito. Nos complace informar que el Distrito ha aceptado aumentar de 2 a 4 horas a los empleados de Servicios de Alimentos que actualmente trabajan 2 horas, lo cual es un paso positivo hacia adelante.
También sostuvimos largas discusiones sobre el presupuesto para Uniformes y el Incentivo Bilingue.

Estos siguen siendo nuestras prioridades principales, y continuaremos luchando para lograr mejoras justas y significativas para todos los miembros.

We are pleased to share that both parties agreed on a language update to Article VII that will benefit our members.
Additionally, the District has committed to focusing on Health & Welfare Benefits during our next negotiations meeting, scheduled for August 4, 2025.
Your CSEA negotiations team met with the District on May 27, 2025. The District proposed reviewing all contract language, article by article. We spent the day clarifying language and discussing definitions across several sections. No decisions were made during this session, and the District did not present any formal proposals.
One of the discussions that the District proposed was limiting rest breaks to 10 minutes to align with the Ed Code. In response, we proposed maintaining all rest breaks at 15 minutes, highlighting the importance of sufficient break time—especially for members working in high-demand roles. We are currently awaiting their response.
The District also shared that they are not ready to discuss salary and fringe benefits at this time and plan to address those topics at a later date.
Our next negotiation session is scheduled for June 12, 2025. We’ll continue to keep you informed as we move forward.
