General membership Meeting – 6/17/2019 @ 12:05pm
I know, that was earlier today. The good news is that it was recorded and will be available on lccef.org to view very soon. If you were not able to attend in person, or watch as it streamed on Zoom, check back tomorrow for a link to watch the recording.
Bargaining – Economic Reopener
Bargaining sessions have been discontinued until July when we will continue bargaining the economics. Check these weekly messages, or the calendar at lccef.org, for future dates.
Classified members are welcome and encouraged to attend the sessions. We recognize the hardship for some employees who are unable to take personal time to join; consider taking a late lunch and eat with us. As a reminder, sessions start at 1 p.m. in Center, Room 303. Even staying for 15 minutes and joining in solidarity will make an impact. Please be sure to coordinate with your manager. Sitting in on bargaining can not be done on paid time, so you will need to use a lunch hour, break or personal/vacation time and be sure that attending does not negatively impact your daily work.
Thank you to those members showing support by wearing red on Fridays, sitting in on Bargaining sessions and displaying posters We really appreciate the support!
Details about bargaining meetings will be posted each Monday and referenced in the weekly communications update (just like this). All posts will be available through the Bargaining Committee page on the website.
Our latest Bargaining Update is after the meeting on June 7, 2019. Please send questions, or support, to the bargaining team. You can also use the forums to discuss bargaining, but please remember to keep it professional.

Do Your Part for Bargaining
The bargaining team needs your help!
Office Signs
If you have an office with a highly visible window and you would like a “Fair Contract NOW” sign, contact communications@lccef.org and we’ll get you one. If you aren’t up to a big sign, get a smaller version here. It will look great on your office door, or in your cubicle.
Wear red on Fridays
The bargaining team needs administration to see that the Classified union stands together. Looking out the window on the 3rd floor of the Center Building during bargaining and seeing red shirts helps more than you know!
