2009-2011 Contract Ratified
Our September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2011 contract was ratified by a vote of members on June 15. 342 members voted, and it was overwhelmingly approved by over 99% of the voters. Our brothers and sisters in the Classified Federation also approved their contract by a similar percentage. Although there are no cost-of-living adjustments in the contracts, we were able to preserve a number of positions so we could handle the increase in enrollment at the college (up over 11% this year).
