The union for faculty and professional staff had set a strike date for Wednesday.
The language of the tenta tive contract has not been released; it will be sent to CCCTU members by Tuesday, Johnston said. The union’s rank and file must still approve the new contract, but the strike has been called off, CCCTU said.Contracts for faculty and professional staff had expired in July.
A representative for City Colleges said the tentative agreement “ensures our students receive a high-quality educational experience and recognizes the hard work of our faculty and staff.” Classes for the seven colleges will continue as normal this week. Next steps for the CCCTU include holding information sessions with members, then putting the contract to a ratification vote, which Johnston expects to occur before Thanksgiving.
Then, the contract would be sent to the City Colleges to be approved by the Board of Trustees at its December meeting, he said.
