Part-time faculty contract negotiations waiting on set dates
The Advocate
The bargaining teams for the management and part-time faculty are looking for dates to meet to negotiate a new part-time faculty and tutor contract, according to Daryle Broadsword, dean of business, information systems, health and physical education.
“We’re trying to set up some dates (so) that we can get moving,” Broadsword said.
Broadsword is one of three on the bargaining team for the management. Larkin Franks, interim vice president of instruction, and JoAnn Zahn, director of fiscal operations, budget and auxiliary services, are also on the management team.
Representing the part-time instructors and tutors are Marilyn Pitts, part-time faculty and tutor association president and G.E.D. instructor; Sean Wilcox, ESL & ENL instructor; and Lonnie Breninger, psychology instructor.
“We’ve been carefully reviewing the current PTFA (part-time faculty and tutor) contract, MHCC full-time and classified contracts,” Pitts said, “and contracts at Portland Community College and Clackamas Community College.
“Even though these are exceedingly tough economic times, we’re looking forward to the best experience of working with our colleagues to provide the best contract possible for our part-time faculty and tutors,” Pitts said.
