CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS

A final note about negotiations from Sandy Thompson-Wallace, TOTEM President:

​

First, I would like to thank all of you who attended our informational zooms and participated in the voting process.

Second, a big thank you to our negotiations team. The hours,  days and months that you worked toward a tentative agreement are very much appreciated. 

I am pleased to let you know that the membership ratified the tentative agreement with the District with a vote of 73% yes, 27% no.

I will communicate further after I have the opportunity to speak further with the District. 

Again, thank you for your patience and your participation in this long process.

​

Now that the contract has been ratified, it will take a bit of time to provide an official copy, but you may refer to the TA here.

We began our (ZOOM) face-to-face negotiation on a successor contract with the District on October 29, 2020.  Our current contract expires 6/30/2021.  The TOTEM team worked many hours prior to meeting with the District; reviewed the survey responses that were submitted and will continue to work toward an agreement to bring forward in the future.  We do not have a timeline for when that will occur, but will update the bargaining unit as we move forward.
