Who's Really Behind Friedrichs v. California Teachers?

From the Desk of the UFCT President

Dear Colleagues:

I thought you might enjoy this video of JBE at the LFT Convention.  And it was no surprise that his first public appearance was at our convention, since it was mostly due to organized labor that got him elected.

Though we had a very good day on Saturday, the work to be done to reverse nearly eight years of damage to higher education has just started.

UFCT Member to Serve on JBE's Transition Team for Higher Ed

Vice President of UFCT Local 1130 Baton Rouge region Valerie Holliday has been appointed by Governor-elect John Bel Edwards and his team to the Transition Committee for Higher Education. Valerie serves as associate professor of philosophy at Baton Rouge Community College.

"This is a most welcome time of great hope for Louisiana and its higher education system. Governor-elect Edwards cares deeply about higher education; it is my honor to serve him and his team," Valerie said.

HEP Compliance Reminder

Just a reminder to complete all HEP requirements by December 31, 2015.

If you are unsure of your compliance status or that of your dependents, you can visit www.cthep.com (which redirects you to www.connect2yourhealth.com).  Your spouse will have to create their own account to view their compliance (or you register for your spouse and let them know what they need to do).

Negotiations Update

Your Negotiating Team is already preparing for upcoming negotiations. Our thanks to those adjunct faculty who have participated in the recent bargaining survey.
 
We are currently analyzing those surveys and will be preparing our proposals based on your input. Please be assured that we will be addressing the issues that you have identified as priorities.
 
At that point, we are anticipating beginning negotiations sometime during the month of January 2021. Once we have scheduled our first session, we will update this site.
