CFCE Protects Your Rights to Get Involved

​

As a CFCE member, you have a right to participate in union activity under the contract and the law. The District's management cannot retaliate against you for participating in CFCE activities.The Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA), states that public school employees have the right to “…form, join and participate in the activities…” of the union. It is unlawful for a public school employer to threaten, retaliate, interfere with or coerce classified employees because of their participation in union activities. CFCE can file an unfair labor practice (ULP) with the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) to stop retaliation and make members who suffer retaliation whole.

​
