The school says, after agreeing to the agreement, the union unilaterally changed the language.
Union members and supporters delivered a letter for Board President Helen Forbes Fields Tuesday.
“These employees already manage varying schedules and work locations and continue to be contacted with work matters on their days ‘off,’” said SEIU 1199 administrative organizer Nicole Parke in a statement. “Despite these issues, we were able to reach an agreement that accomplished badly needed improvements to working conditions. Now, the college is refusing to honor our good-faith agreement, all the while asking the employees to volunteer on the college’s levy campaign.
However, members allege that now college leadership refuses to recognize the agreement’s validity and says the Board of Trustees won’t approve the new contract at September’s Board meeting. SEIU 1199 has filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge against Tri-C with the State Employment Relations Board and will continue pushing the Board to approve the agreement, according to Parke. A representative for Tri-C said the college also filed its own ULP charge and is requesting that the state board review the matter.
