Item Title: | Approval of Alameda Unified School District “Sunshine” Reopener Proposals to CSEA, Chapter 860 (CSEA 860) | Item Type: | Consent | Background: | California School Employees Association, Chapter 860 (CSEA 860) is the exclusive representative for AUSD’s maintenance, facilities, and food service staff. Last year, CSEA 860 and AUSD agreed to a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) running through June 2018. As part of that agreement, each year CSEA 860 and AUSD may reopen the Pay and Allowances article plus two other articles for renegotiation. This item sets out AUSD’s chosen reopener articles.
The Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA;
Government Code Section 3540 et seq.) provides for and establishes requirements for collective bargaining between public school employers and exclusive representatives of certificated and classified employees. The EERA obligates public school employers and exclusive representatives to
“sunshine” their initial negotiating proposals to the public and to provide an opportunity for public expression on such proposals. This item is also provided in order to meet AUSD’s sunshine obligation. CSEA 860's chosen articles will be sunshined in a separate agenda item.
In accordance with Board Policy 4143, the Board recognizes its responsibilities to represent the public's interests in the collective bargaining process, keep the public informed about issues being negotiated, and provide members of the public an opportunity to express their views on all initial contract proposals.
This item came to the Board for a Public Hearing on March 28th. Tonight, staff is asking the Board to approve this item on its Consent Calendar. | Goals: | Meet statutory requirement. | Fund: | | Fund Codes: | | Fiscal Analysis
