Faculty Voice Newsletter: March 2018: Resolution in Support of Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers in Contract Negotiations

by CCFT

Support for Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers’ Contract Negotiations

As of Monday, February 12, 2017

Whereas, Pajaro Valley Federation of Teachers (PVFT) has been negotiating for more than a year; and

Whereas, the beginning teachers’ salary is among the lowest in nearby districts; and

Whereas, in last year’s final budget PVUSD had $57.5 million in their ending fund balance but are only required to have 3% (about $7 million); and

Whereas, PVFT’s proposal would cost a total of $7 million per year;

Therefore, be it resolved, that the Cabrillo College Federation of Teachers supports PVFT’s quest for a fair contract with fair compensation.
