CCFF Contract Ratification Vote

Faculty,

As you know, the Union and District have reached tentative agreement on a successor collective bargaining agreement, to run from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2018. Details of the tentative agreement are available for review..

The Union will conduct a contract ratification vote open to all members of CCFF in good standing (those who have paid dues).

The ballot question shall be: “Should CCFF ratify the tentative agreement between CCFF and the District? Yes _____  No ____.”

Ratification will be determined by a simple majority of ballots cast.

Voting will be held from 6:00 a.m., Wednesday, September 14 until 11:59 p.m., Monday, September 19. Voting will be conducted via electionbuddy.com. This website allows for anonymous, encrypted voting, using a process by which each eligible voter may vote only once.

On the morning of Wednesday, September 14, all eligible voters will receive emails, at their @cerritos.edu addresses, sent from “electionbuddy Elections,” with a subject line referring to the CCFF Ratification Vote. Each email will contain a unique link allowing only that member to vote.

The voting period closes at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, September 19. The Union will send out an email reminder to eligible voters who have not yet voted on Friday, September 16, during the voting period.

If you have any questions about the voting process, please contact me at gjarrett@cerritos.edu.

If you have any questions about the Union’s tentative agreement, please contact CCFF President Solomon Namala at snamala@cerritos.edu.

Thank you,

George Jarrett
