Standing Together for Education.
On Friday, January 23 from 1:45-4:45 p.m., CFT will host an online forum featuring the major candidates for Governor of California. The structure of the forum will follow the same format as the State Superintendent of Public Instruction forum we hosted last fall, with CFT President Jeff Freitas interviewing the candidates one on one.
Steve McDougall, the president of the Early Childhood/TK-12 Council and a member of Salinas Valley Federation of Teachers Local 1020, started a new set of trainings this year. But these aren’t your typical union ones on subjects like contract bargaining or learning how to run a political campaign. Instead, members are doing professional development trainings for other members.
McDougall got the idea from his work on AFT councils. He thinks this is a way to offer members something helpful as well as a good organizing tool.
California has the largest concentration of immigrants in the country. Many of our students and their families are anxious about the threats of mass deportation by the incoming administration. CFT is dedicated to defending our immigrant students, families, and communities.

SACRAMENTO, CA – CFT – A Union of Educators and Classified Professionals released the following statement on behalf of President Jeff Freitas in response to Governor Newsom’s January budget proposal:
A key component of the CFT One Faculty campaign, which aims to create an equitable system that benefits all faculty, is making sure part-timers have some job security and due process.
That’s why it was a huge accomplishment when Governor Newsom signed AB 1028 in October, after a CFT campaign asking members to let the governor know why they supported it.
The Part-Timer promotes the interests of part-time faculty working in the California community colleges. It contains news about the movement to establish better conditions of employment for adjunct faculty, both in California and North America.
