Bargaining

Bargaining Issues

FTA seeks to create holistic and systemic improvements to create the best learning environments for our students and to create the best working conditions for professional educators.

FUSD refuses to discuss class size and other proposals that we know will improve working and learning conditions.

The Fresno Teachers Association bargaining team has their second mediation session with FUSD on Wednesday, September 6^th. We request that ALL FTA members wear their blue Stand with Students t-shirt or any other blue shirt as a sign of solidarity with our colleagues. We will continue to wear blue every Wednesday until we settle a contract with FUSD.

Have questions about bargaining?

Please check out these videos that were made to answer the most frequently asked questions.

The videos topics are as follows:

1. Article 20: Hours Comparison

2. Teacher Strike FAQS: Part 1
3. Teacher Strike FAQS: Part 2

The FTA rep. council voted to authorize the executive board to call for a strike vote of the general membership. So what does that mean? FTA President Tish Rice explains.

AC not working in your classroom?

Here are some steps to help:

Notify the office manager or Plant Coordinator (PC) to check the controls to make sure they are on and functioning.

There's a slider in the classroom that can be moved to bring temp down 3 degrees.

If that doesn't work, then the site needs to call Energy Management who'll call the HVAC guys to go out and service.

Below is Jason's contact info from Maintenance and Ops.
