However,  the fight is more that just about wages. At the time of this video&#8217;s publishing, the union that represents faculty, nurses, counselors, and librarians in the Peralta Community College District is in a labor dispute with management over ~$600K, a tiny fraction of the District&#8217;s budget. That money would cover the cost of part-time parity which is an effort to pay part-time faculty equal to full-time faculty with the same experience for the same work. In other words, equal pay for equal work. Additionally, PFT is asking for a 3-year contract that includes a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) as it is granted by the state of California and doesn&#8217;t cost the District anything. Yet, the District is refusing to meet these minimal demands. <br> PFT is committed to improving working conditions for our educators to improve learning conditions for our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video produced by: Ina Adele Ray, Berkeley City College Part-time Faculty and Berkeley City College Union Representative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support PFT by attending the PCCD Board of Trustees Meeting on December 10, 2019.
