FAQs

Common questions about the contract. Have a suggestion for the next round of bargaining? Use the bargaining suggestion form on our About page.

Who is covered by the collective bargaining agreement?

All faculty in the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District bargaining unit, full-time and part-time, are covered by the CBA, whether or not they are dues-paying members of the Faculty Association.

How do I find my placement on the salary schedule?

Your column placement is based on education units and your step on years of service. The current salary schedule is linked under Documents & MOUs, or you can download it directly from the district (PDF) (opens in a new tab).

What should I do if I believe the contract has been violated?

Contact a Faculty Association representative as soon as possible. Grievances have strict timelines, so reach out early. We will help you evaluate the situation and represent you through the process.

How are MOUs different from the contract?

A Memorandum of Understanding is a negotiated agreement between the FA and the district on a specific topic, usually adopted between full contract negotiations. MOUs carry the same force as the contract. Current MOUs are posted on the district HR Faculty MOUs page (opens in a new tab).

How can I get involved in negotiations?

Attend general membership meetings, respond to bargaining surveys, and send suggestions to the negotiating team using the bargaining suggestion form on our About page. Member input directly shapes our bargaining priorities.
