Update on Negotiations between BUSD and Bargaining Units
On May 30th Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) and the Berkeley Federation of Teachers (BFT) announced a tentative agreement for the 2012-2013 contract negotiations subject to ratification by BFT and approval by the BUSD Board of Education.
Since then, BFT has ratified the contract and the Board approved the agreement at the June 19th board meeting. The District will be implementing the “Me Too” provision for Berkeley Council of Classified Employees (BCCE), though negotiations are ongoing. The District has also reached a tentative agreement with Union of Berkeley Administrators (UBA), and is working on an agreement with Local 21.
Recap of BFT Agreement: All BFT bargaining unit wages, including salaries, stipends, daily rates and hourly rates shall be adjusted to reflect a 2.5% increase effective July 1, 2012.  Each unit member shall also receive an additional one-time payment equal to 2.5% of his/her 2012-2013 salary.  The District contribution to health and welfare benefits remains unchanged.  This is in addition to the 1% bonus negotiated for all employees in the fall of 2012.
