Fall Election Results

On December 6th we voted for two delegates to represent CODAA at the IEA Representative Assembly. The results are the following.

So Mike Dusik and Stella Styrczula will serve as delegates and John Richy will serve as alternate, in case either cannot perform their role.

We also voted for an At-Large Ethnic Minority Delegate who will represent Region 32. Our votes will be added to those of other locals in the Region. Region 32 will announce the results of this election, as soon as the results are available.

In light of the College of DuPage Faculty Association’s recent agreement to a contract extension, some of you have been wondering if CODAA will still be entering into negotiations.

Although CODAA was also offered a contract extension, after careful review and consideration, the CODAA Board did not feel it was in our member’s best interest to extend the current contract based on what was being offered. Counter proposals by CODAA, which included language to strengthen right of assignment for our members, were rejected.

Therefore, we are currently preparing for negotiations and expect to enter into collective bargaining sometime in February, 2017. Our preparation for negotiations is informed by the survey of our members conducted earlier this year.

The CODAA Board
