GREAT News!!!!

I didn't drop my lunch!!! :)

LAYOFFS at work

OK. So at a blink of an eye, you have a job and then you don't. Well; I have a job still but, others that work with me at the college district will find them self's without one on July 1st which, is when the change takes effect. Sure we had some pretty hairy-ass budget cuts 4 yrs ago when my job at the Art Dept was placed on the wood stump and axed. But I did get lucky and get myself bumped into another position on campus. I'm hoping that the same thing doesn't happen this time around.

BAKERSFIELD - The California School Employees Association Union will be holding an informational rally at the Kern Community College District Thursday to dispute the layoff of 17 school employees at Bakersfield College.

CSEA said the Kern Community College District’s decision to layoff these employees violates a contract.

Both sides of the issue were represented Thursday by Labor Relations Representative for Bakersfield College Michael Lynn and Vice Chancellor of Human Resources from Kern Community College District Victor Collins.

BAKERSFIELD - A rally was held Thursday by members of the California School Employees Association in downtown Bakersfield.

Seventeen classified employees of the CSEA Union were laid off after a reorganization within the Kern Community College District.

The Union alleges the district violated collective bargaining statutes by firing the employees who performed non-instructional duties.

A hearing was held at the KCCD Board meeting late Thursday afternoon. The Union hoped to address the employees’ concerns.

I didn't take part in the protest having a new-temp office supervisor.
