At last night's regular chapter meeting, the following items were acted on by the membership:
Approval of the Tentative Agreement with District management that for any bargaining unit employee who announces their retirement before December 15, they will receive a 2.5% salary increase for July 1 - Dec 31, 2016 so that it may be calculated into their PERS retirement.
Approval of a 2016-2107 chapter budget.
There was also the first reading of the proposed chapter constitution update. Copies were distributed along with the current 1995 constitution, and a summary of the changes, including merging similar articles from the constitution and by-law and language required by OSEA and/or the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act. Copies of both constitutions are in the menu bar to the right under Documents and Files
(it's been brought to my attention that the menu bar on the right is not visible when using phones, so here are the links:)
