WORK TO THE CONTRACT! 
ESEA WANTS YOU! PLEASE WORK TO THE CONTRACT! 


 
ESEA is asking each of its members to work to the contract that we have bargained with the District on your behalf.
 
ESEA believes that when determining the necessity of a Reduction-in-Force (RIF) the District must have accurate data such as that regarding the number of hours its employees need to complete the tasks they are required to do.

 
When working to the contract an employee:

 
     *    Performs his/her duties to the best of his/her ability within his/her assigned hours

     *    Is on time ready to work and on time leaving from work

     *    Takes the breaks bargained for by ESEA, including lunches and/or 15 minute breaks                per Article 9 and Article 21-5

 
 Rationale:
 

ESEA knows that when an employee neglects breaks and performs duties after his/her assigned hours, the District believes the job can be done in a certain number of hours when it actually takes a higher number of hours to do the job.

 
This is not beneficial to the District, Employees, or students.
 
ESEA understands that most of the outstanding CCSD employees are extremely conscientious and may feel that if they opt to take breaks, certain tasks might go undone thereby placing  an employee in jeopardy of discipline by Supervisors.

 
This idea could not be further from the truth. If CCSD did not want you to take a break they wouldn’t have agreed with ESEA to employees having breaks. 
 
While ESEA believes it is true that CCSD Education Support Professionals (ESPs) were the sole target of the most recent RIF, ESEA also believes the chief contributing factor to the recent RIF or any future RIF would be inaccurate data.

 
If an employer like CCSD understands that the cuts they have made due to inaccurate data places not only the quality and quantity of work in jeopardy but, more importantly, that more cuts could further jeopardize the health and safety of the children ESPs serve, then an impact will be made on where CCSD chooses to make any future cuts.
