News & Quick Links
/* The news grid is declared as 3 columns, but the query renders however many posts exist. With fewer than 3 published posts a fixed 3-track grid left the cards at 1/3 width with dead space beside them. auto-fit collapses the empty tracks, so the cards always divide the row evenly at 1, 2 or 3 posts and drop to a single column on phones. */ .clp-tabs .wp-block-post-template.is-layout-grid{ grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(240px,1fr)); }Announcements, bargaining updates, and association business.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Faculty Association?
The Chabot-Las Positas Faculty Association (FA) is the exclusive bargaining representative for faculty at Chabot College and Las Positas College. For more than 50 years, we’ve negotiated and enforced the faculty contract and advocated for the working conditions, compensation, and professional rights of more than 400 colleagues across both campuses.
Who can join?
All full-time and part-time faculty at Chabot College and Las Positas College are eligible to join, including librarians and counseling faculty. Membership is what gives us strength at the bargaining table — the more faculty who join, the stronger our collective voice. Learn how to join.
How do I become a member?
Complete the membership application online — it takes about two minutes, and you’ll need your W ID number to hand. Your dues are then handled automatically through payroll deduction. See the Membership page for the full steps.
How much are dues?
Dues are 0.6% of your paycheck for all faculty, full- and part-time, deducted automatically through payroll.
What does membership get me?
Members are represented in contract negotiations and protected by contract enforcement and grievance representation. Membership also supports seniority protections, healthcare advocacy for part-time faculty, professional development opportunities, voting rights in the association, and statewide advocacy through our affiliations with FACCC and CCCI. Explore your rights in the Contract Guide.
I have a problem at work — can the FA help?
Yes. If you have a question about your rights or a workplace issue, contact the FA. A representative can help you understand the contract and, when appropriate, file and pursue a grievance on your behalf. Contact us to get started.
When and where does the FA meet?
The FA holds regular membership meetings during the academic year. Upcoming dates are posted on the Events page and announced by email as they’re confirmed.
Where can I read the contract?
The current agreement is summarized article-by-article in our Contract Guide, which links directly to the official signed PDF. The signed contract and its MOUs are always the official source.
