CSEA Chapter #399 Negotiation Update
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.
