Collective Bargaining Collective bargaining is the process by which employees at a workplace organize collectively in order to negotiate compensation, benefits, and other working conditions with the management. The "Collective Bargaining Agreement" The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is a labor contract between the employer and a specific group of employees. At the Coast Community College District, the Coast Federation of Classified Employees (CFCE), AFT Local 4794, has been certified by California's Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) to represent classified employees working within the District.Duration of the "Collective Bargaining Agreement" CFCE negotiates the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Coast Community College District on an annual basis. The current contract is in effect through June 30, 2009. In 2007 and 2008, the District and CFCE may each open one (1) article for re-opener. During 2008-09, each party may select two articles for re-opener. In 2009-10, the entire Agreement will be re-opened.

During contract negotiations, the Contract Negotiations Team meets on a regular basis to research specific areas of the contract and to develop strategies that will be used during the negotiation sessions with the District.Contract Campaign Committee In addition to the Contract Negotiations Team, the CFCE Executive Council will appoint members of the union to the Contract Campaign Committee.
