February 2014
- The VEA Bargaining Team met with the District on Thursday, February 27, 2014.
- We continued to bargain on the following articles: WAGES, HOURS, SAFETY, CLASS SIZE, EVALUATIONS, Clean-up Language, Outstanding MOUs, and MEMBERS’ RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS.
- We received a disappointing response to our wage proposal from the district.
- We have let the district know that we will only accept an increase in wages that honors your hard work and acknowledges your sacrifices.
- We will continue to keep our members up-dated. However, in order to comply with the tenants of bargaining, we cannot be specific with information.
- We have scheduled additional dates in order to move the process forward more quickly.
- Our goal is to present a proposed contract for ratification by the beginning of May.
- At this point it is critical that members get involved!
- VEA’s Action Team will be putting together a plan… please look for it at Rep Council.
