Proposed Minutes of Executive Board Meeting March 17, 2020

The conference call meeting was called to order at 2:13 p.m. Due to the developing COVID-19
crisis, the in-person meeting took place in the form of a conference call. Joanne thanked every-
one, chapter presidents, officers, and all for dedication, professionalism, and flexibility during
this time.

Due to challenges in teleconferencing capabilities, the number of callers allowed on the call was
limited and several Eboard members could not get on the call (including the Recording Secretary
after losing reception). The following is a recording of Guild, District, and campus updates from
those who were on the call:

Joanne’s update

   ● Counselors are being trained this week to work remotely beginning 3/30
   ● CDC: child development centers remain open
   ● Article B2 has been approved; added modification of article 40 B5 (we expect remote ed-
     ucation to continue until the summer)
   ● Telecommuting document: attorney will review them first; our message is to NOT SIGN
     any documents
   ● Not sure if libraries are closing

City - Christine & Jeff

   ● Counselors haven’t heard anything about being released 1pm today
   ● Everyone received telecommuting forms (deans and presidents have been asking folks to
     complete them)
   ● Short 8 week class is continuing through April 12th, 2nd batch will continue starting
     April 14th until ???

Pierce - Brian & James

   ● Counselors also haven’t received the memo that they could leave campus - rooms are
     dark and locked, non faculty staff are still there, blindspot of the administration
   ● Online trainings have been a debacle
   ● James also echoes Brian, trainings aren’t adequate

Southwest - Sandra

   ● Listserv doesn’t include counselors, Sandra wants to flag
   ● Professional development opportunities are being canceled so faculty are wondering
     about that
         ○ JW: 6.7hrs in training also counts as PD

                                                   3
● After spring break - prepare classes for the 14th ( first instructional day of 8 week clas-
     ses)
   ● Challenge: older faculty members are having difficulty with technology; one refuses to be
     trained online - isn’t coming out to training b/c of COVID-19 concerns; not able to set up
     a class; thinking of hiring Canvas trained sub - what are the implications?

Trade - Kenadi & Iris

   ● Circle back with Joe

Valley - Gloria & Larry

   ● Will remote education will continue in the summer?
        ○ JW: Not sure, we need to project out longer than shorter (extend through the
            summer but do not have confirmation as of yet); colleges will receive info later

West- Olga, Ken, & Grace

   ● Ken’s suggestion: weekly check ins/online mtgs with dept chairs to go over what’s work-
     ing, what isn’t, and get additional info from the field
   ● Grace: issue with missing chairs in depts still
   ● JW clarifying: everyone in faculty unit will continue to be paid, no one will lose their
     “full-paid status” during this crisis
   ● Grace: re: COVID-19 chancellor sent out a message to students before they sent out
     Q&A to faculty, made it difficult to answer student’s questions
   ● Grace: possible guild training for zoom, especially for e-board mtgs?
         ○ Sharon: we’ll figure out a system for e-board

Respectfully submitted,

Mindy Chen, Recording Secretary

(Thanks to Guild Lead Organizer Seo Yun Son, who assisted in recording notes)

2.   Joint Labor Management Benefits Committee (JLMBC):

     Discussion/Follow-Up Reports

     A. Fall Newsletter Brainstorm

     Bill explains in the last year, the committee has been doing this to provide ideas and help the newsletters
     come out on time. Bill continues for the last year or year and a half they have been pretty successful in doing
     so. Bill says Gallagher has come up with this brainstorming session to help smooth out and speed up the
     process and turns it over to Rachel. Rachel references a handout that has ideas for the spring newsletter and
     last year’s newsletters as a guidance for the upcoming newsletter.

     Bill’s first point is the notice about the cost of medical premiums, should not be addressed just to retirees. Bill
     continues that the article must state that is you pick certain plans, no matter retiree or active, you will pay a
     portion of the premium. Bill says there may be more or less depending on CalPERS Renewals but he does not
     anticipate those three becoming cheaper. Bill says they need to include it in the newsletter so people will
     know, but also have a separate article ready if they win something in negotiations. Bill says to move forward
     with the assumption that it will cost money to be in those three plans for now.

     Mercedes says they have a flyer and FAQ’s links for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. Rachel
     request it be emailed to her. Celena suggests an article on the importance of sleep and staying healthy. Bill
     suggests writing something about what to do when health pandemic like the coronavirus are happening. Leo
     suggest pointing to the CDC and not offering advice. Bill agrees and doesn’t want it to specifically say
     coronavirus because it may be out of the news by then. Leo suggests an emergency
preparedness reminder. Claudette asks if there is any district information on what to do during a pandemic.
No one is clear if there is.

Rachel asks about the adjunct laws change. Mercedes says she can send the legislation. Celena suggests a
healthy swaps article. James asks for clarification on one of the suggested articles regarding out-of-network
coverage. Rachel explains that people often misinterpret out-of-network coverage and has suggested an
article to make it clearer. Rachel gives the example that if a member’s out-of-network coverage is 40% that
does not mean the carrier will pay 40% of their bill, but rather 40% of a specified amount. Bill adds that the
specified amount is usually a substantially reduced amount. Marcos explains that when people go to non-
contracted providers the carrier doesn’t know the cost being charged; it is an unknown factor. Marcos says
that is why the member ends up being balance billed.

Rachel asks if there is anything from last year that should not be including again this year, giving the example
of a “Sitting Epidemic” article that will probably not be needed again. James asks for clarification on
telemedicine. Rachel explains that is when you can see a doctor virtually. Rachel says it was included in the Fall
and Spring. Candace further explains if you are too sick you can see a doctor on your phone or computer.
Rachel says that is an example of an article that may or may not want to be included in this Fall’s newsletter.
Marcos offers that in the current climate, it is a very valuable resource right now. Rachel summarizes that it
sounds like something we should keep for now. Bill agrees and adds the only think he would also remove on
last year’s list is the smoking stats report.

Bill asks about adding some retirement resources. Sharon agrees and points out there isn’t a lot of information
around retirement included right now. Sharon tries to recollect and understand all the retirement options
available, other than CalPERS and Cal STRS. Sharon says her understanding is no new members can enroll in
PARS. Mercedes says new people can and explains it is more for walk-on athletic coaches and those who do
not qualify for PERS or STRS but still need to pay into retirement. Mercedes adds there is still Social Security
also. Sharon says her understanding is the classified are generally in CalPERS but is not sure if there are other
options. Mercedes says there is not. Sharon asks for confirmation that SDIU and the other members are also in
CalPERS. Mercedes confirms. Sharon suggests talking outside of the meeting because she has heard a lot of
difficulty with PARS. Sharon goes back to the newsletter suggesting retirement resource locations be included.
Bill suggests the hyperlinks and contact information be included but to not go in to the retirement’s territory.
Bill says a whole retirement handbook is being created so not all of the information needs to be in the
newsletter. Celena would like the log in information because a lot of people don’t know how to do that.
Rachel asks for the log in information. Celena says she will send it. Bill also adds the WageWorks needs to be
the correct link, because you can’t just Google it.

B. HRA Retiree Letter Draft

Leo says WageWorks will do a hard copy mailer for about $3,500. Leo asks for everyone to email him with
what needs to be included in the letter. Leo says include things that are being missed and specifics so he can
have a draft for the next meeting. Bill asks for a date when to have the information to Leo. Leo says by Friday
the 20th to have the suggestions to him. Bill offers the first suggestion that some people were accidentally
dropped and it should be mentioned. Leo says it will be part of the letter. Sharon asks where the letter will be
housed on the website. Leo clarifies this will be a letter that is mailed out but they do have something very
basic on the website. Bill says to cc him on notes sent to Leo so he can keep track.

C. Dental Benefit Review

Bill says this item fell off because they kept receiving conflicting data on whether these dental enhancements
needed to be negotiated. Bill informs that the level coverage of the plans does not need to be negotiated in
the Master Benefits Agreement. Bill shares he was told it needs to come from JLMBC so the committee will
vote on it today and see what the board does with the recommendations. Bill explains he has asked Gallagher
to remind the committee the details of the enhancements.

Marcos begins by explaining that over a year ago Gallagher did an in-depth analysis of the dental programs
and discovered that while they are good benefits, they have not been updated in over 20 years and are a little
outdated. Marcos references a hand out that is specific to the DPPO Delta Dental program and the reason
they are not looking at the DHMO is because that is an insured plan with limited flexibility. Marcos says the
sheet shows services that are not currently covered but are covered on most plans today. Marcos says they do
have some estimates but since it is a self-insured plan, the claims can change month to month. Marcos
continues that the DPPO
plan has actually been performing better than projected. Marcos explains the contracts could be getting
better and members are staying in network more often. Marcos refers back to the sheet, reminding that the
numbers shown are just estimates right now and they may not see this same increase in cost. Bill asks for that
explanation in writing to show the board that this is worst case and based on past performance could be less.

Marcos starts with the first recommendation of covering all preventative visits at 100% in network or out of
network. Marcos says the second option of preventative care is only 100% for in network and less coverage if
you go out of network. Marcos points out the cost is significantly more for the first option. Marcos moves on
to the other categories, beginning with composite fillings, which currently only cover silver and would suggest
adding the white fillings. Marcos talks about covering sealants for kids up to the age of 19 instead of the
current age of 16 for a minimal impact. Marcos discusses the pin-hole procedure, saying that part of it is
covered but they would recommend covering the entire procedure for a minimal impact. Marcos then talks
about implant coverage. Marcos explains there are two options; the first would include the implants under the
member’s current annual maximum or option two that would have its own annual maximum. Marcos
summarizes to say those are the recommendations they are making. Marcos also reiterates the current
benefit offered by the district is really good but these benefits could use an update to catch up with many
common offerings.

Bill asks what is would cost to make the top annual maximum you a member can receive $4,000 instead of
$3,000. Marcos says it would be a significant impact but he would have to look into it. Celena points out that
Marcos skipped over porcelain crowns. Marcos apologizes and summarizes the

enhancement, saying porcelain crowns fused to high noble metal for teeth not in the smile line is another
common coverage with such a minimal impact, they would suggest covering it.

Bill says they can have some discussion but his recommendations would be option two for the preventive
services, option two for the implants and include all other recommendations. Leila asks about the coverage of
sealants to age 19 and if they are only done on children. Marcos explains it is a more common procedure for
your adolescence. Leila asked if it is covered for adults. Marcos says it is covered but there was a limitation for
dependents. Marcos says after the age of 19 it is not usually recommended. Bill summarizes his
recommendations again and includes they have done a good job of encouraging members to stay in network.

Leila asks for confirmation that there was saving on the vision plan. Bill confirms. Leila explains that she has
added up the total of Bill’s recommendations to be roughly $487,000 and if the vision savings can be used as
an offset argument against some of the dental enhancement costs. Marcos says he could put that together for
the review of the committee but this plan does tend to outperform the expectations, which could be used as
an argument as well. Bill says they will try to sell it to the board, which shouldn’t be too difficult since it is such
an old plan design.
Ruby suggests giving the board the history of the dental plan to help them make the decision. Bill says that is
what he is asking for and will create a PowerPoint to go to the board and present the options.

Marcos wants to clarify the option 2 being discussed would decrease the out of network benefit from where it
currently is. Bill does understand.

D. Retirement Guide Book

Leo shares that he does have an outline he will be showing to the retirement task force today before he shares
it with the committee to get all of their viewpoints first. Leo explains they are creating pathways to retirement
for employees based on where they are in their career. Leo says he went to CalPERS training in Glendale and
has spoken with resources that advised not to give too much information since it is always updating. Leo says
they suggested advising people to talk to the representatives from their perspective retirement systems since
things are always changing. Leo say he has meant with the Gallagher team to discuss creating a living word
document that can be updated with links and disseminate through unions. Leo admits there has been a
breakdown in communications and is hoping this will help. Leo adds the will have an outline for the committee
to review in April. Leo continues that once that is approved he will disperse and assign the different parts to
each people and Gallagher will assemble to make it looks nice. Leo says he would love to have it completed by
September and hopefully included in the fall retirement newsletter.

Sharon asked if there is currently a draft. Leo says there is not, he will be working with the retirement task
force to get that going. Bill says they are trying to get away from posting every single thing they want because
there is not confidence in the District’s ability to update links. Leo says it will be easier to commit to updating a
document than a website. Bill understands this is an answer to that until the website is updated. Leo says yes
and it could eventually populate a website. Ruby asks if this link to the retirement guide book would only be in
the retirement newsletter. Leo says it should be in all newsletters.

Sharon offers that she would like to get back to the retirement workshops where they have people they can
contact and look to. Leo says there are not the resources for that right now but it is beyond him. Bill says they
can try to ask for it. Bill says there is an interest in negotiations right now to make sure people are trained so
they might be able to make it happen. Sharon says the limitations of the staff and the district has really
hindered the employees who cannot wait months for answers. Leo agrees there need to be more support but
it is out of his hands.

E. Voluntary Benefits RFP Draft

Leo passes out the Voluntary Benefits RFP draft. Leo summarizes talking about Short Term Disability. Leo says
he and Bill discussed SDI but he’s not sure where that is. Bill says it’s still in play. Leo says then this would be
another option for Short Term Disability. Leo share they are also looking at Long Term Disability, Legal
coverage, Accident and Critical Illness. Leo shares that there was a conference call with payroll and there
wouldn’t be any issue with adding the benefits.

Katrelia asks if the legal coverage would be redundant since they already have it on EAP and MetLife. Katrelia
says the EAP legal is very detailed and members can meet with a counselor to tell the members what steps to
take. Leo says they can ask the legal provider is they carve out services they already have. Bill suggest offering
three options: Legal Plan, Legal Plan with ID theft and ID Theft. Leila asks if EAP’s legal is just for a 30 minute
session and then they have to pay after that. Leo says this would be separate. Leo hopes to have an update in
April.

                                                         1
Claudette asks about the wellness benefit on the Accident policy. Marcos explains is you go see your doctor
for a preventive visit, you file a claim and the policy will send you $100. Claudette asks if it is only for active
members. Marcos says it is if you purchase the policy. Claudette asks if retirees can purchase the policy.
Marcos does not believe it is currently set up for retirees. Bill points out there is no way to make a payroll
deduction. Celena asks if they are group policies. Marcos explains it would be a group policy. Celena asks if
they have been denied for an individual policy would they be

automatically accepted. Marcos says yes, they would make sure there were not pre-exiting conditions.

F. MBA Negotiations Update

Bill says it is in process and they will discuss some proposals in the labor caucus. Bill says negotiations are
heating up a little. Bill says getting everything would mean $128 million, so do not anticipate getting
everything they are asking for. Bill says there is a $26 million deduction being made in the state. It will
probably be added back in but it is being used as an argument.

Leila says the fact that retirees may need to pay premiums should not be backed down to the district because
they retired under the old arrangements where 20 years meant 100% paid. Bill says they have always had a
cap but no one knew about it. Bill says they are not giving in. Bill says the part you should be arguing about is
the Medicare because that was promised to you and you are not getting it. Bill says it is currently being
negotiated. Bill said the fact is there is a cap at PERS Choice out of state and if you pick a plan that is above
that dollar amount, you will be paying.

Leila says there were communications that people let her make saying they would have it 100% paid for. Leila
says that falls on management and if they knew there was a cap they should have stopped all the handouts
and communications. Bill agrees but he doesn’t know for sure they will get there because they won’t just eat
those costs. Leila says there’s no one to argue for retirees and they need to protect them. Bill says he is trying.
Leila says creating a new tier moving forward would be fine because they have done that before. Bill says they
do not like doing that. Sharon adds it creates a lot of miscommunications. Bill says Leila is correct and that’s
why they ate the costs last year but the resolution needs to be fixed. Ruby wants to know where the
misunderstanding came from since she continues to hear the same thing from all 1521A retirees. Ruby says as
the representative she needs to clearly understand where this went wrong. Bill says they will
discuss it in the labor caucus. Claudette wants to know if it wasn’t covered at 100%, where did everyone get
this idea. Bill explains when the plans were funded by the district, it was 100%. When they moved to CalPERS
there was a small change. The intent did not change but how it was enacted did and ten years later the
unintended consequences occurred. Bill shares that Classified at the time did voice a concern about going to
CalPERS. Leila correct Bill saying they voted against it. Bill says he doesn’t know if it was good or bad, or how
the benefits were communicated back then. Bill says he knows what they did and why they did it, they had to
specify a plan cap, so they picked the most expensive one that they thought would always be the most
expensive but it isn’t, so now we have to fix it in the resolution. Bill says there will be 100% of an HMO and 100%
of a PPO but not sure if it will be every plan that comes on.

Wellness Report

A. LA Marathon / Wellness Activities

Katrelia shares that the dedicated booth at the annual health and fitness expo was a success with strong
support from AFT 1521A and other volunteers. Katrelia share they collected over $700 both days of the expo
and another $100. Katrelia summarizes the fundraising total is currently over $67,000. Katrelia says the virtual
marathon and biggest heart donor challenge are still going on. Katrelia says the final report will go to the LA
Marathon at the end of the month when those events end. Katrelia says the expenses are around $18,000,
which is down from $25,000 thanks to sponsor items donated. Katrelia shares the half marathon runners are
at about 97% of their goal, 5k runners are at 73% and full marathon runners are at 40%. Katrelia says they are
still fundraising though. Katrelia says they didn’t get as much cheer zone support as last year, but feels that
may be due partly to the coronavirus. Katrelia says a lot of runners are already ready to do it again. Katrelia
says Providence Health stepped up donating the trainer. Katrelia says they did get media coverage interviews
that aired on Eye Witness News.

Katrelia adds they are starting the health and wellness expos for the spring coming up the next two weeks.

B. Wellness Engagement Provider RFP

Katrelia’s EAP RFP is on hold until the provisional employee comes on. Katrelia says it has been reviewed by
Gallagher and updated and ready to go out, once the new employee comes on.

C. Kaiser Wellness Presentation

Sunny Smith introduces herself. Sunny says she partners with agencies like LACCD to work on their worksite
wellness programs. Sunny says Kaiser has an internal program that recognizes employers that help their
employees live a healthier life. Sunny says an independent panel reviews the information submitted. Sunny
says she has submitted LACCD in 2018 but you did not win. Sunny tried again in 2019 and LACCD achieved the
highest honor, Platinum reward. Sunny says a Platinum winner has to have support from leadership, as well as
union support for their wellness program. Sunny said they look at report metrics and if the employer is
contributing. Sunny congratulates the committee and presents the award to Katrelia, as a representative of
LACCD. Bill asks if Sunny can present it in front of the board meeting. Sunny agrees. Bill asks Leo to set it up.
Sunny shares CSU Chancellors office with 27 campuses got the first award and Sacramento Transit Authority
got it the second year, and now LACCD.

Constituency Reports

A. Retirees None

B. Actives

Ruby shares that Classifieds are voting this month on changes in personnel commissioners. Ruby says 1521A
will be making a joint decision. Leila says this is very important and a huge obstacle they are overcoming

C. Adjuncts None

Closed Session: None

Discussion from the Floor: None

Action Items

A. Dental Benefit Review Recommendation
Bill says the only thing that really need to be discussed is which options to suggest. Bill suggests option 2 for
both. A motion passes to go with Bill’s suggestion of all enhancements and option 2 for both options. Bill asks
Gallagher for the presentation to be drafted in about a month with historical and worse case estimates.
Marcos says it can be done for preventive but just actuarial values for the services not currently covered.

To: Los Angeles College Faculty Guild Executive Board Delegates
From: Joanne Waddell, President
Re: President’s Report to Executive Board--draft

Colleagues,

It’s circumstances like those we face today that remind us about the importance of unions (in
general) and the Faculty Guild (in particular). Guild members were represented this month
working with our LACCD Labor Caucus to ensure that all LACCD employees have safe working
conditions. Our EDD assistance program got off to an earlier-than-usual start helping our
colleagues navigate EDD when two (or more) income households have seen their incomes
shrink to a solo LACCD income. As summer assignments were offered, and Fall assignments are
in the planning stages, our Guild is making sure that our COVID-19 MOUs for Article 40 are
implemented. We are also in the planning stages of protecting, in this digital era, our peer-
elected department chair election process in Article 17.

In less than one month, Guild members turned 8,000 classes from face-to-face to remote
education. A remarkable accomplishment had it been planned. A phenomenal feat given the
limited resources and the decision on day two of a ten-day training schedule to shut down the
campuses. Shout out to the amazingly committed and dedicated Distance Education
Coordinators and the DE teams, and kudos to 5,000 faculty who are determined to save this
semester for our students.

To be sure, there are those who would take advantage of the rapidly changing circumstances in
which we find ourselves to divide us: classroom/non-classroom, adjunct/tenured, union
member/non-member, discipline v. discipline, DE/face-to-face. To those who would use this
time to advance an agenda without collective bargaining or shared governance we say
                                  Not.What.We.Do.

We know we’re not done adapting to coronavirus challenges—biological, psychological,
economic—and those not yet identified. Whatever the challenges, because of the strong Guild
leadership in this meeting, and the strong Guild membership on our campuses, we know we
will be there for our colleagues, our students, and our communities.

                             That’s.What.We.Do

Below are some of the meetings and events I attended this month.

                                                 1
Guild

Monday March 16-Friday March 27 were scheduled to be “ten days to train” to convert our
face-to-face classes to remote/on line classes. Because we are on the virus’s timeline, not ours,
on Wednesday March 18, faculty were told to begin “working from home”. Ready or not, home
we went (with counselors taking a few extra days to gear up Cranium Café). Did anyone realize
that we were telling faculty who don’t go on-line much to go home and go on-line to learn how
to teach on-line? Done and done.

an adjunct membership/chapter meeting—great turn out!

District

Wednesday March 18—the LACCD Labor Caucus working together: I was alerted by our SEIU
99 colleagues to the resolution that was the focus of the Emergency BoT meeting that night.
The purpose of the meeting was to fulfill the Board’s request the previous month that the
Chancellor be given broad and general authority to act as needed during the coronavirus
emergency. The resolution gave authority to the Chancellor that was so broad and general that
it would have dissolved our CBA. The officers (EVP Bill Elarton-Selig, Sharon Hendricks, and
Mindy Chen) and I spent the next three hours in consultation with the LACCD Labor Caucus re-
writing the resolution and communicating with Board President Hoffman and the Chancellor to
ensure our version of the resolution would be voted on. At 6 pm that evening the Guild officers
were joined by the Labor Caucus at the Emergency BoT meeting at the ESC to speak to legal
requirement to collectively bargain the effects of coronavirus pandemic on wages, hours, and
working conditions. Our version of the resolution passed.

Wednesday March 25—I attended BoT Committee meetings

Friday March 27—I attended the DAS meeting, along with Political Director Natalina Monteiro,
as a resource about Guild MOUs, specifically for Article 40.

Later that afternoon I participated in the weekly Labor Caucus-Chancellor consultation.

Wednesday April 1—I attended the first of two Distance Education Coordinators work group
whose charge was to recommend a plan to increase DE training.
I also attended a Master Benefits Article (MBA) caucus.
Later that afternoon I attended the BoT meeting.

Friday April 3—I attended the DAS meeting as a resource to the Article 40 MOU.

Monday April 6—I attended the second of two DE Coordinator work group. The recommended
language is “strongly recommended” [not required] to become DE Certified for Summer 1,
Summer 2, or Fall 2020.

Wednesday April 15—I chaired the DBC meeting. The motion to eliminate college deficits will
be voted on next month. CFO Gordan presented 5 year scenarios. See attached DBC agenda
packet/

                                                    1
Following DBC, the BoT called to order a marathon 5 hour meeting. It was a disturbing meeting
beginning with Trustees Buelna and Svonkin ranting because they want more frequent updates
from the Chancellor (15 out of 21 days weren’t enough). Later in the meeting, Trustees Svonkin,
Buelna, and Moreno voted to block a vendor contract (for 2 months) to help with crisis
communications and another contract to help with enrollment marketing and advertising
(shades of 2015). The meeting ended with Moreno and Svonkin blocking (for the third month)
$1M from the ELAC ending balance for ELAC student basic needs. Crises bring out true values.

Thursday April 16 and Friday April 17—the Guild officers and I worked with the LACCD Labor
Caucus in creating and presenting to the Chancellor a letter of solidarity in support of safe
working conditions (including faculty’s “hard to convert” classes).

State/National

Saturday March 31—I attended the quarterly CFT/CCC meeting where we began to deal with
the possible reality of budget shortfalls due to the coronavirus shutdown.

The CFT/CCC meeting was followed by an AFT townhall teleconference about the nationwide
affects of the coronavirus shut down.

Tuesday March 31—I attended the CalLabor webinar about the CARES Act (see
www.unioncounsel.net )

Wednesday April 1—I attended the California Community College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO)
weekly webinar. ( check out the website: www.cccco.edu for the latest update, guidance, and
instruction re coronavirus.)

Tuesday April 7—I participated in AFT President Randi Weingarten’s weekly teleconference.

Grievance Report
                                Darrell Eckersley

“…hard to reconcile”: Leo Tolstoy wrote, “Life and the ideal are hard to reconcile.
To try to make them follow the same path is a life’s work.” Even now, with this
pandemic bump in the road, we try to be as adaptive as we can to our stay-at-
home lives, and masks, and gloves, and Zoom - the new social standards. (And,
yes, my Friday night wine group still meets, albeit by that damned Zoom.) What
we would have as ideal, we work for most of our lives. As a different life sneaks in,
we adapt.
     The pandemic bump in the road appears at times, however, more like a
geological event: hot volcanism, the breakup of continents, fluctuations in
seafloor spreading, tectonic episodes, sea-level oscillations – in drastic and
confused tones, all announced from the White House. We still adapt to reality.
     One particular path that has required a physical and mental adaptation is our
Guild duties by Zoom. Meetings continue: Negotiations, E-committee, E-board,
Chancellor, and the end of this month Grievance Review, all by the new work-
related normal. Of course our phone calls and email continue their own zooming.
In addition, the Guild has created and been approved MOUs to consolidate
Agreement language to the current times.
     An exception is the procedure required and outlined in Article 28. When the
state required stay-at-home and the district closed the campuses, Vice Chancellor
Roman and I agreed that, at my suggestion, all grievance procedures stop until we
can work out a method, perhaps also by Zoom, in part, to align closely with the
Article 28 language. We also agreed that grievances begun just prior to the
campus closings and waiting for district responses shall be put on hold as well as
putting on hold the “within” a 20-day requirement (28.D) to file a grievance if a
contractual issue occurs now. Many complaints can be addressed by email or
phone. A reason for not running a grievance at this time, however, is
confidentiality. Complainants will often report a contract violation by phone or
email but ask to meet in person because the information is confidential. Often the
complaint involves other faculty. All faculty, alleged grievant or one involved,
require not just the procedural legality of confidentiality but also the respect of
confidentiality.
      Even so, this temporary agreement does not prevent a chapter president or
grievance representative from being distance contacted by a faculty member at

                                        2
this time, nor does it prevent the representative from investigating and trying to
distance resolve the often more simple issues with the college administration
without filing and running the procedure in 28.D. Representation continues.
     A grievable issue such as incorrect pay is one that could be resolved by social
distancing. How quickly it is resolved is a matter of concern, however. Who and
how many employees, if any, are at the district office (ESC) will affect a monetary
problem’s resolution. Although not directly complaints of a contractual nature,
Summer and Fall scheduling questions are dropping into our baskets – “I want all
my classes on-line in the Fall,” “I want no more on-line classes in the Fall.” True
contractual misapplications of assignment (Arts.13, 15, and 16) can be resolved.
But the obvious is not always so: faculty are not on campus, so how can there be
a problem? The usual daily complaints that chapter presidents and grievance
representatives hear shall have to wait if the 28.D procedure is required.
     As one faculty member asked, “Until?”

In the wake of two scourges: Within an academic year, two blights have changed
the enrollment profile of English and Mathematics.
     Depending on the campus, preparatory college-level classes had as many or
more sections than college-level classes prior to this 2019-20 academic year, and
class size was full or near full. Students in preparatory English and Mathematics fit
specific profiles: just-out-of-high-school students who did not do well prior,
students who had not been in any school for some years and needed refresher
courses, students who did a semester or two of ESL, and students who did not
need either college-level class because they wanted a certificate, not a degree.
     Then AB 705 hit Fall 2019 semester, and, depending on the college and the
department, college-level class numbers and enrollments bloated, and
preparatory class enrollments and numbers were few to none. College-level class
drop-out rates were double or more than Spring 2019 drop-out rates. Fall 2019
preparatory class enrollment was small and drop-out rates in the first two weeks
were high when students chatted about not needing those classes.
     Spring 2020 shifted the two programs’ attendance rates upside down in
March when the district colleges shut down and classes went on Zoom, or tried,
because of corona virus identification 2019 (COVID-19). The district sent students
laptops, although some at this time who did not have one before still have not
received one. Some instructors did not have computers and were sent one. Some
students and instructors did not know how to work one. Then Zoom instruction

                                        21
for faculty who knew nothing about on-line teaching went two and a half weeks,
but not enough.
     Meanwhile, the AB 705 arbitration is in abeyance during the pandemic.

Social Justice Committee Meeting Notes:

In lieu of a regular meeting we hosted a discussion on “Social Justice in the Time of Corona.”
We had about twenty people join the meeting and we have increased our membership to
thirteen people including representatives from East, Valley, Pierce, Harbor, Southwest, Mission,
and West. I have included the link to the public YouTube video and a list of the community
resources we discussed.

The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
                                          John McDowell
                                       Government Relations

The coronavirus pandemic has turned everything upside down. Stay-at-home, social distancing, and
shutting down the economy except for those jobs deemed as essential. That saves lives, but already
22 million workers have lost their jobs. Even if the Covid-19 curve is flattening in some states,
possibly California, experts are warning against abandoning the critical guidelines too soon.
Economists say that as up to 50 million jobs, one-third of all the US workforce, are vulnerable to
coronavirus-related layoffs because those jobs are deemed nonessential or cannot be done from
home. The impact of this could result in an economic hit twice worse than the 2008-10 Recession.
The Chair of the Assembly Budget Committee reported that much increased spending is needed to
protect Californians’ health, while at the same time the economy is shrinking and tax revenues are
declining. Because tax payments are delayed to July 15, the actual budget for 2020-21 is delayed to
August 15. The State budget will focus now only on COVID-19 related costs, wildfire prevention, and
homelessness, and in August “…consider sizable ongoing reductions to major programs... “
Thank Governor Brown for building up funding in the Raining Day account, now at $17.5 billion, a
source the State Legislature Analyst’s Office stated could be used in this crisis.
No one knows how long or how deep this economic decline will go, but there will be cuts, likely 5%
this year and more cuts in 2020-21. No one likes uncertainty (ies), so the district has created a
“forecast” based on these assumptions - No HRA, No salary increase, No smaller class size, flat
enrollment, and no gains in student success. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy if the District fails to
effectively handle this crisis and just saying NO to us at the bargaining table.
Here’s several critical things we need to say to the Administration and the Board of Trustees:
   •   Keep the HRA and improve health care for adjuncts, who never needed it more than now
   •   Use the $148 million in the ending balance to backfill to cover the State cuts
   •   Ramp up the fundraising at the District Foundation to expand its help for our students
   •   Reverse the chancellors directive AB 705 to stop driving so many under-prepared students
       out of our colleges
   •   Rather than assuming “flat enrollment” for the next few years, develop a strategy to reach
       out the 50,000+ students living in our service area but attending colleges outside LACCD
   •   Keep the McCallum Group, our experienced and successful budget advocate in Sacramento
   •   Coordinate with other districts on budget and legislation, instead the of “going alone”
“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew.
This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to
walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and
dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little
luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it” (Arundhati Roy, April 16, 2020).
Change in LACCD is long overdue. We broke off from LAUSD in 1969 but instead of “imagining
another world” we still see many of the old centralized ways of LAUSD. Join us on Zoom to learn
from our awesome professional organizers who are training a large and growing volunteer team of
faculty determined to rebuild Guild power. Yes, we have a vision and will fight for it!
