The MCCC will soon begin the process of forming a team to negotiate a successor Day Collective Bargaining Agreement. The team negotiates with the employer over wages, hours, and conditions of employment. The current contract, although ratified last week, expires June 30, 2023. This is an opportunity for members to shape the working conditions affecting nearly 2000 Day Contract members for the next three years and beyond. The team will be made up of at least five (5) Day Contract union members plus the MCCC President and Vice President ex officio. Preferred applicants will represent the diversity of the collective Day bargaining unit that includes full-time faculty, part-time Day unit faculty, and all full and part-time professional staff.
Team members have traditionally been provided with reassigned time to allow them to meet regularly. Additionally, being on the Negotiations Team is counted as college service. Bargaining generally requires at least a one-year commitment.
Application Process
Interested Day Unit MCCC Union Members should send a letter of intent and a CV (resume)to MCCC President, Claudine Barnes at presmbarnes@mccc.union.org.
