This past spring, after two years of negotiations, the Coast Federation of Classified Employees, Local 4794, was able to reach an agreement with the district that achieved the goals of equitable treatment, a quality health benefits plan, and no layoffs. Ann Nicholson, president of Local 4794, asked the CFT Organizing Department to help develop a plan to alert members that the local was implementing a dues pass through to meet per capita cost increases. Ultimately, in addition to these and other specific positive contract adjustments, Local 4794 members took the progressive step of increasing their dues by $5 this summer to bolster their ability to respond to attacks and advance a positive agenda.
