AUSD Approves Salary Increases For Labor Partners

From AUSD: The Board of Education for the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) unanimously approved salary increases for two labor partners at its public meeting on June 27, 2017.

The approved increases were with California State Employees Association Chapter 27 (CSEA 27), which represents office/technical workers and paraprofessionals, and CSEA 860, which represents custodial, maintenance, and food service workers in the district.

Members of both unions will receive an ongoing 0.5% salary increase in 2017-18 and an ongoing 0.3% increase in 2018-19.

The agreement with CSEA 860 also includes implementation of a Compensation and Classification Study completed in 2016. Implementation of that study will bring salaries of certain CSEA 860 positions closer to the market average in the region.

“I am always excited when we can offer our employees the salary increases they so deserve,” said Superintendent Sean McPhetridge. “I am especially excited about the implementation of the Compensation and Classification Study, which will bring some of our lowest-paid employees up to a higher level. These employees work hard. We want to pay them fairly.”

AUSD and the two CSEA chapters will re-negotiate their entire contracts in 2018.

This spring, the district also began negotiating with the Alameda Education Association, which represents certificated employees such as teachers, counselors, speech and language pathologists, and nurses. Those talks are expected to resume in September.
