SCFA’s Contract
SCFA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA/Contract) of 2024-2027 as well as the “Finalized Mediated Tentative Agreement” (FMTA) of March 1, 2026 are both part of our current CBA. Article 4 of our CBA explains how updates to our Agreement are handled and shared with faculty.
Using Your Contract
Open the “CBA 2024-2027” document and skim the table of contents for what you need. Articles 2-8, 10-11, 13, 17-21, and 23-24 are current. However, if you need information about articles 1, 9, 12, 14-15, or 22, turn to the FMTA. If you’re looking for information on the Healthcare option for part-time faculty, it’s in the FMTA, too. Find it in Appendix A, pages 68-74. Sierra’s website has information on healthcare and how and when to apply for it here: Employee Benefits.

Why Care about Union Contracts?
Workers in unionized workplaces are protected by them as legally binding documents that describe their rights, salary schedules, and benefits, usually hard-won by workers who’ve organized and their bargaining teams. Read it. Unpack it. Critically reflect on how to make it better. CBAs change and grow over time and bargaining teams have power at the table when members are active and at their backs.
