The collective bargaining process plays an important role in supporting fair and effective working conditions for employees. To promote transparency and understanding, SCCCD is providing the information below to keep employees and the community informed about the status and progress of collective bargaining with the District’s labor partners.

While negotiation meetings are conducted between designated bargaining representatives and are not open to the public or the college community, the results of those meetings are included in the documents below.

Commonly used terms:

Collective Bargaining: The process by which management and union representatives negotiate employment conditions for a bargaining unit for a designated period of time. The parties have a mutual obligation to bargain in good faith in an effort to reach agreement with respect to wages, hours, and working conditions. This process is commonly referred to as “negotiations”.

Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA): The contract that contains the results of the negotiations between the employer and the union and sets forth their agreements.

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)/Side Letter: A formal, signed agreement that serves as an addendum to the collective bargaining agreement. An MOU usually addresses an issue that emerged during the term of the agreement, and it represents the mutual understanding between the parties on that issue.

Sunshine Proposal: A document transmitted at the beginning of a negotiating process defining the intentions of the negotiation. These documents give the public a chance to provide input on the negotiating process.

Tentative Agreement (TA): The agreement reached through bargaining prior to its ratification or final approval by designated constituencies.
