SOSCA NEGOTIATIONS
2008/2009 Message from your Director of Negotiations, Cindy Agundez: Welcome to 2008!!!!
You negotiation committee for the 2008-2009 school year are as follows:
Donna Edge - Claims Examiner I, Workers' Compensation/SISC
Jeannette Lenko - Lead Accountant - District Financial Services
Eva Peterson - Financial Assistant - CalWORKS/CCC 24th St
Patty Shultz - Administrative Secretary I - Special Education
Cindy Agundez - Transportation Planner/Transportation - Negotiation Director/SOSCA
Please feel free to contact any one on the committee to give us your ideas for negotiations. We will have to be very creative this year in view of the budget situation in Sacramento. It is expected to be a tough year for the state budget, which creates concerns, and unfortunately, rumors, about the effects of the proposed budget cuts. If you have any concerns or questions at all about the impact of the expected cuts, please contact Cindy or any another board member for more information about what to expect from the budget situation.
You can e-mail Cindy at ciagundez@kern.org or contact Cindy at 852-5820.
Please contact any of us with questions, suggestions, etc.

2007/2008
Ballots have been counted and tallied for the second vote for SOSCA negotiations for the 2007-2008 fiscal year, held October 3 & 4.
The results are as follows:
Option 1 received 42 Votes - (No retro of COLA, no reduction of vacation days this fiscal year).
Option 2 received 210 Votes - (retro of COLA to July 1, 2007 and vacation reduction starts immediately. All classified employees must reduce vacation carryover to 30 days by July 1, 2008.) Based on the results, Option 2 has been passed by the voters and will be implemented immediately, following the notification to HR. The retro will appear on either the end of month October or November paycheck. Substitutes are not eligible for the retro and anyone who resigned or retired prior to October 1, 2007 will not be eligible for the retro.
In summary, there was a total of 252 members who voted. This was down from the first vote at the beginning of September. Voting hours were extended to accommodate some of the sites that are not able to leave during the day; however, only five (5) people reported for voting the last hour on Thursday. SOSCA had hoped more people would take advantage of the extended hours, and we appreciate those who did get out there and make your voice heard!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Cindy Agundez, Negotiations Director at 852-5820 or e-mail at ciagundez@kern.org
