What's Really Happening

Columbus State Education Association Newsletter of July 11, 2005

MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW!

.for Thursday, July 28, at 2 PM. That's the time for a critical CSEA member meeting to review and vote on the fact finder's report that will propose a settlement to our months-long contract negotiations. Even if you can't attend the meeting-which we hope you can-there will be additional voting times on Friday, July 29 and Monday, August 1.

Last week was spent in mediation and in a fact finding hearing in which the Association and the College presented their respective positions and evidence on outstanding issues in negotiations.

The fact finder will issue his report on Monday, July 25. By law, the Association and the College each have 7 days to either accept or reject the fact finder's report. Failure to vote is considered a vote to accept the report. Your Association leaders will make their recommendations to the membership as to whether to approve or reject the fact finder's proposed settlement.

The meeting and voting locations are forthcoming. But MARK YOUR CALENDAR NOW for July 28 at 2 PM.

A more comprehensive What's Really Happening that reviews what occurred during mediation and the fact finding hearing will arrive in a few days.

What's Really Happening is produced by the Communications Committee of the Columbus State Education Association. We welcome your comments, news, and insights.
