Save the Date!

A meeting of the Collective Bargaining Senate has been tentatively scheduled for 6:00 pm Thursday, July 9th at the SEA Office.  If you are a member of the CB Senate, please mark your calendar and watch for the meeting notice!

Governor Lynch's public statements about the Budget have included discussion of additional state employee layoffs. If you receive a notice of layoff or transfer, contact the SEA immediately at 271-3411. The ability of SEA staff to assist you will vary according to several factors -- one key factor is how quickly you contact the union after receiving notice. So please do not delay; contact the SEA immediately if you receive a notice of layoff or transfer.  

The State Budget:
The full text of HB1 (line item appropriations) is available here.
The full text of HB2 ("trailer" bill including revenue provisions and statutory changes) is available here.

What’s that you’ve heard about the Collective Bargaining Senate Recommendation?

The Collective Bargaining Senate has supported a negotiating path that would significantly change SEA’s contract with the State.  The Senate also authorized direct discussions with the Legislature about issues that impact contract negotiations.  Among the recommendations:

  1. Voluntary unpaid leaves of absence would allow employees covered by the CBA to “bank” funds that would be used to preserve other CBA-covered positions.  Employees taking the voluntary leave would keep the same benefits, accrual and seniority dates.  The unpaid wages would be deposited in a dedicated account, to allow monthly reporting of the total amount of donated wages and the number of jobs “saved” through the program.
  2. A new salary matrix that would freeze wages at current levels for one year.  The new matrix would include 20 steps at one-year intervals.  All employees would move to the matrix in the second year of the contract.
  3. “Total compensation package” options so employees can choose benefit plans that meet their personal priorities;
