The Administrative bargaining unit at Camden County College is at impasse over the College’s demand that employees pay for health benefits. So far no community college unit has given in to this demand. The Council of County Colleges apparently is behind this push. CCC tried what they thought was a weak unit to get their foot in the door of “cost sharing”. The Board is demanding this even though they are saving many thousands of dollars with the new State health benefits plan. In addition, college employees are paying for their benefits by accepting salaries that are less than what they would get in the private sector. If the Camden County College Board is successful, we will see this at the next negotiations. The CCC employees and other community colleges will be rallying at the Camden County Board meeting Tuesday, March 4, 7:00 pm at the Blackwood campus. ACCCEA people who care about their health benefits should help pack that board meeting. Mark your calendar. Will Parsons, ACCCEA Secretary
