To: Laura Lott Fuson <lottfusonl@lancsd.org>
PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Good evening,
Great news! The certificated 4.5% Bonus Checks have been processed and secretaries can pick them up first thing in the morning (Friday, May 26th) for distribution at your site.
Wherever you pick up your monthly salary check, that is where your bonus check will be available.
The certificated Retro checks have been processed by Payroll and are ready for printing, however, the county does not have a retro printing schedule until June. The first available date for us to receive these checks is June 13th. The secretaries will be able to pick them up in the Payroll office first thing in the morning (Tuesday, June 13th) and distribute them at the sites.
We know the second paragraph could be better news, but we appreciate your patience and understanding.
We hope you enjoy your three day weekend,
Laura and Denise :0)

Please be aware that there is NO BONUS OR RETRO CHECK FOR NEXT YEAR. We have members who assume that these checks are issued every year - they are not.

SCHOOL SAFETY: TOOLS FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION EMPLOYEES FROM CTA LEGAL DEPT, 2020:
|
California SB 906 School Safety: Homicide Threats click here
SB 906 was passed by legislature and signed by the Governor on July 21, 2022. The bill has two separate requirements that Local Education Agencies (LEAs) must comply with. The requirements both deal with school safety procedures. SB 906 is set to take effect beginning with the 2023-2024 school year. Lastly, LEAs are immune from civil liability for any damages allegedly caused by, arising out of, or relating to the requirements of SB 906. | ||

What are Weingarten rights?
One of a union representative’s most important duties is guarding against employer intimidation, particularly during disciplinary investigations, where the employer may attempt to coerce employees into making incriminating statements against themselves or their colleagues. For union-represented employees, one backstop against coercive investigatory interviews is Weingarten rights. Named for a United States Supreme Court case, NLRB v. J. Weingarten, Inc., 420 U.S. 251 (1975), Weingarten rights have been extended to public employees under California’s labor relations statutes. Simply put, an employee has a right to request a union representative in an investigatory interview when the employee has a reasonable basis to believe that discipline may result from the meeting. The right to a union representative applies to investigatory questioning that is written as well as oral. Weingarten rights must be asserted by the employee — the employer has no obligation to notify employees of these rights, and employees may choose to represent themselves if they wish. Keep in mind that Weingarten rights only apply to investigatory meetings that might result in discipline of the employee. They do not apply to other types of meetings with the employer, such as a meeting where an employer is merely notifying the employee of a disciplinary decision that the employer already made. Once the right is asserted, an employee is not entitled to their union representative of choice. The employer may proceed with the investigatory questioning as long as another union representative is available at the meeting time. But if an employee’s preferred union representative is available, the employer may not insist upon a different representative. Additionally, the union representative has the right to sufficient information about the nature of the employee’s alleged wrongdoing before an investigatory interview takes place in order to allow for meaningful representation. |
