The contract is a legally binding agreement that sets out agreed guidelines between pcC-Administration and PCCFFAP. If you read the table of materials, you will see that it also contains provisions on allowances, benefits, absences and sheets, intellectual property rights and even parking! The contract also describes the appeal procedure – a dispute resolution procedure between management and MEMBERS of the CPSFFP on the interpretation of the contract and in cases of staff discipline or termination. According to the PCC FCE website, full contract negotiations usually take place every four years and negotiations that began in January 2019 are ongoing. The summary of the 2019 preliminary agreement shows an increase in paid parental leave and early retirement scholarships ranked – but the biggest achievement is THE PCC`s COST of Living Adjustment (COLA), which is now overtaken by Portland with the real cost of living. President Grider stated in the local union newsletter that CCP workers should see the effects of this agreement with a refund of wages as early as the coming months. While these changes are a much-anticipated victory for all concerned, Grider continues to focus on what we still expect for the union, including the implementation of the new contract. Below are links to current contracts, agreements and manuals for Portland Community College staff. For all employees, it is important to note that if you are away for 10 working days or more, you must apply for leave. We are pleased to inform you that we have found a solution that retroactively delays the salaries of part-time teachers to the 2019-20 level.
The college is providing the necessary approvals and will take the necessary steps to implement these changes as soon as possible. Credits outside the negotiated agreement have been identified and are being used to adjust the pay of part-time faculties, which, as a result of the negotiated changes, saw their hourly rates fall this fall. It is expected that retroactive compensation for this group for the fall period will be paid no later than March 5, 2021, and payment for future terms will be incorporated into the salary plan. We often get questions about casual workers at the CCP.
