Standing Together for Education.
Steve McDougall, the president of the Early Childhood/TK-12 Council and a member of Salinas Valley Federation of Teachers Local 1020, started a new set of trainings this year. But these aren’t your typical union ones on subjects like contract bargaining or learning how to run a political campaign. Instead, members are doing professional development trainings for other members.
McDougall got the idea from his work on AFT councils. He thinks this is a way to offer members something helpful as well as a good organizing tool.
On Friday, January 23 from 1:45-4:45 p.m., CFT will host an online forum featuring the major candidates for Governor of California. The structure of the forum will follow the same format as the State Superintendent of Public Instruction forum we hosted last fall, with CFT President Jeff Freitas interviewing the candidates one on one.
Every year we observe Martin Luther King Day to reflect on the work that still needs to be done for racial equality. We also remember the vision that Dr. King carried in seeing the connection between achieving racial equality and supporting the labor movement. Most people know Dr. King only as a civil rights leader, but we also remember him as a powerful labor leader.

SACRAMENTO, CA – CFT – A Union of Educators and Classified Professionals released the following statement on behalf of President Jeff Freitas in response to Governor Newsom’s January budget proposal:
A key component of the CFT One Faculty campaign, which aims to create an equitable system that benefits all faculty, is making sure part-timers have some job security and due process.
That’s why it was a huge accomplishment when Governor Newsom signed AB 1028 in October, after a CFT campaign asking members to let the governor know why they supported it.
The Part-Timer promotes the interests of part-time faculty working in the California community colleges. It contains news about the movement to establish better conditions of employment for adjunct faculty, both in California and North America.
