AFT 1493 Negotiation Session Observer Sign-up 2025
Show support for your union’s negotiators and learn about contract negotiations so you can help inform your colleagues about how the process works and why we need member engagement to win at the table!

For the first time, the district has agreed to have regularly scheduled negotiation sessions every Friday (excluding spring break 4/4) through the end of Spring semester.

Every Friday negotiations will occur from 1:30-5:30 pm.
With the exception of the 1st Fridays of the month negotiations will occur from 2:30- 5:30 pm. 

Note: Each Friday session is 3-4 hours long. If you're not able to stay for an entire session, the option of  signing up for 1.5-2 hour time slots is available. However, AFT recommends staying for an entire session to get a better sense of the process and to provide your input during caucus. 

If you are interested in a specific topic/article, you can indicate so on this form so we can direct you to a particular session. 

The main Zoom link for the session with the District will be provided prior to the bargaining session. 
RULES: Observers CANNOT speak during the negotiation session but at each session we leave the session with the District to caucus only as an AFT team. We look forward to hearing your thoughts in the caucus. A link for our AFT caucus will also be provided prior to the session.
