AAFMCC BARGAINING UPDATE
Dear AAFMCC,
We hope you are staying safe and healthy. We have been working with the College to address all of the “Demand to Bargain” issues that we submitted earlier this fall and shared with you on Sept. 3 (for your reference, a list of those issues are pasted below). Here is a summary of what we discussed. Some of the issues have been resolved; one issue has been tabled, and the remaining issues on the list are still under discussion/awaiting resolution because either we need more information from The College or we are not happy with the College’s proposed solution. For now, know that you ARE NOT REQUIRED to participate in Week Zero, and you are NOT REQUIRED to submit your FDHs prior to the start of the semester. We are continuing to work with the College to address the unresolved issues and will update you as soon as possible. As always, if you have concerns/issues/potential grieves, please email Grievance Officers Jodi Monday (aafmccgmail.org) and Yvette Griffin (revyvettegriffin@gmail.com). In Solidarity, AAFMCC EB Summary of Bargaining Meetings to Date Health and Safety Demands - We are tabling the discussion until May in order to have the most current information moving forward for reopening.
