On Tuesday, March 12, 2019, the Pittsburg Unified School District (“District”) and the Pittsburg Education Association (“PEA”) had their second bargaining session for the 2018-2019 contract. The articles discussed at the table were: 
  • Article 4 – Grievances
  • Article 6 – Hours of Employment
  • Article 11– Safety Conditions
  • Article 12 – Employee Benefits
  • Article 13 – Salary 
  • Article 23 – Peer Assistance Program
The parties reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) on Article 23, Peer Assistance Program and the District withdrew its proposal on Article 4, Grievances. This means negotiations regarding the District’s two non-monetary articles have now been completed. Progress was additionally made on the other outstanding articles.

The session on Tuesday between the two parties was productive. The District appreciates the negotiations teams and the preparation put into the session. The next bargaining session is scheduled for March 21, 2019. Bargaining Updates are posted on the District’s website. Please go to: http://www.pittsburg.k12.ca.us/Page/5569 .
