Due to the continuing crisis related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, CTA recommends that chapters extend their current Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) for one year.
 
To that end, the executive board and bargaining team have been negotiating with the District to extend our current CBA by one year. Our contract would be extended through to June 30, 2021.
 
The pros are simple- the contract would stay in place for another year, including the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that eliminated the two-tiered health benefits plan. We already have in place, a Health and Welfare Committee that meets with the District. Neither the union nor the district is interested in going back to current language (two-tiered system) that is in the CBA.
 
By not having to negotiate during this crisis, union leadership, membership, and the district would be able to focus on the issues arising from Distant Learning related to the COVID-19 pandemic and planning for the new school year. 
 
There are no cons as any gains that we may have made in the coming round of negotiations would be wiped out with the budget crisis created by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
 
This agreement is unanimously supported and recommended for ratification by the bargaining team, the SMMCTA Executive Board, and our CTA representative. It is overwhelmingly supported by the representative assembly members.
