The Peralta Board of Trustees has approved the Agreement on Re-openers to the 2012-2015 Successor Agreement.
PFT and district negotiators signed off on the TA Oct. 3, and faculty voted overwhelmingly to approve the deal a week later. Salary increases—including the long-awaited 25-step salary schedule for part-time faculty and an across-the-board 3.65% raise for contract faculty—are on the way. Both adjustments will be retroactive to the start of the Fiscal Year.
Part-time faculty members will soon receive email notice from the district about their placement on the new 25-step salary schedule; if they feel they’ve been placed incorrectly, they’ll have 30 days to make a written appeal to the VC of Human Resources.
Now it’s time to celebrate the gains and continue to work on making our union even stronger!
