Executive Board, Negotiating Team, and Labor Relations Representative

About

CSEA Chapter 470 members elect an Executive Board (“E-Board”) of officers at the end of every odd-numbered year, to begin their terms during the following even-numbered year. The E-Board is the democratically elected leadership body of the union. Officers serve all classified employees who are in the CSEA bargaining unit at Hartnell College. The Association (CSEA) assigns each Chapter a labor relations representative (“LRR” or “labor rep.”) to advise and aid the E-Board with its duties and ensure officers are well prepared.

  • Being an officer or other Chapter leader comes with its own expectations and responsibilities. Leaders represent both individual members and the membership as a whole. They must speak and act as if “wearing a different hat.” As a “CSEA leader,” they will be perceived differently from their classified role at the institution and must plan accordingly. Chapter leaders are equals with District management, and this can sometimes be a challenge for those on the other side of the table to remember and respect. At the end of the day, officers are here to support You the member, all members, labor colleagues and allies, our students, the College as a whole, and our communities.

Members also elect a Negotiating Committee or Team to bargain with the employer for a new contract (CBA), and to review and negotiate new or updated job descriptions, memoranda of understanding, side letters, or other items that the current CBA does not address. Negotiators remain in their roles until a new contract is tentatively agreed (“TA”) and ratified by the membership. If CSEA has a new CBA by the end of the Chapter/calendar year, elections will be held for a new team of negotiators.
