The Board of Trustees met in a special session this evening to review the language changes in the contracts of the four bargaining units.  We are pleased to announce that after many long months of negotiations the contract has been ratified.    If you have any questions please contact your union representatives.  We would once again like to thank you for your support during these negotiations and for the honor of serving as your representatives.

Last night, our contracts were presented to the Board of Trustees for ratification. As you may have seen in an article in the Press of Atlantic City this morning, our pay increases were approved, but the contracts as a whole were not ratified. The explanation we were given, is that the Board of Trustees has requested additional information from the college’s negotiating team in regards to the language in our respective contracts. The Board of Trustees has scheduled a special session ratification meeting on October 6. As per our tentative agreement with the Board, all four units held ratification meetings last week as required. Each unit successfully ratified their respective contract, upholding the Association’s end of the agreement. We have no further information at this time, and will keep you posted as we receive additional information.

The last ratification meeting took place today. The ACCCEA Executive Committee is pleased to report that all four units have successfully ratified their contracts. The contracts will now be presented to the Board of Trustees for ratification on Tuesday, September 27. Thank you once again for your support and involvement in this process. If you have any questions specific to your contract, please see your unit’s President.
