2023-2026 Negotiations

AFT STAFF GUILD

2023 NEGOTIATIONS

AFT College Staff Guild and the Los Angeles Community College District began negotiations on March 29, 2023. Ground rules, some initial proposals, and counter proposals have been presented.

We are negotiating a successor agreement to the contract that expired on June 30, 2023.

While we are in continued negotiations, the contract will still be valid until negotiations are concluded. There is no lapse in union representation. Both parties are currently meeting with their bargaining teams and developing proposed article language.

If members have any additional ideas or proposed language for the open articles (Not in TA Status), please contact your campus negotiations team representative.
