The Community College Coalition bargaining team comprised of representatives from Bellevue Community College, Centralia College, Community Colleges of Spokane, Everett Community College, Green River Community College, Lower Columbia College, Peninsula College, Seattle Community College, Shoreline Community College, South Puget Sound Community College, Tacoma Community College and Whatcom Community College completed negotiations today for their 2012-2013 contract.
For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, the terms and conditions of the 2009-2011 contract remain in place.
The team was able to secure improvements in working conditions, seniority transfer rights and grievance procedures for workplace behavior related issues. A thorough summary will be available in the next few days.
The temporary 3% salary reduction is included in the 2012-2013 contract.
Members of the Community College Coalition will receive a copy of the Tentative Agreement, a summary of the changes, and the ratification plan in the mail next week.
