This was AFT's Initial Calendar Proposal:
District's Initial Proposal:
The Ventura County Federation of College Teachers. AFT, Local 1828, is a labor union representing over 1,400 faculty members of the Ventura County Community College District who serve approximately 32,000 students enrolled in the district's three colleges - Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura.
The Federation is an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, the California Federation of Teachers, the California Labor Federation and the AFL-CIO.
The American Federation of Teachers was founded in 1916. We are a Union of Professionals. We are more than 1.4 million teachers, paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel, higher education faculty and staff, government employees, healthcare workers, and early childhood educators.
Work offers for spring semester have been sent out by the district.
If you didn't receive yours yet, check immediately with your dean.
If you didn't receive your full load (PAL), also check with your dean.
If you believe that someone with less longevity than you received a class you should have
been offered, please contact your AFT office immediately by calling (805)650-8035. We can help
you to determine if your assignment rights have been violated.
(To expedite the process, fax or email a copy of your ARF for the semester in question to

The District and AFT Local 1828 have reached an agreement to roll over our current contract for three years. The full text of the Agreement is as follows:
This Agreement is entered into between the District and AFT and resolves negotiations over a successor agreement covering three years, beginning July 1, 2010, and ending June 30, 2013. Subject to non-substantive changes to the contract related to dates, and deletion of Section 3.1A of Article 3, to be replaced by what appears in Attachment 1 hereto, the parties agree to roll over the terms and conditions of the 2007-2010 Collective Bargaining Agreement without change. In addition, all MOU's listed on the Attachment 2 will be incorporated.
