SEIU 721 Executive Board members of the Los Angeles Community College District took steps forward in their Feb. 16 meeting to enhance relationships with administration officials during the state and Los Angeles budget crisis.
Members met with LACCD Senior Vice Chancellor Dr. Adriana Barrera and Board Trustee Miguel Santiago to address ways to continue providing services as the district faces financial challenges.
“Workers in the Community College District are here today to help keep open lines of communication between employees and upper management,” said Steward Mary John, who is an assistant book store manager at Valley College.
Every month, executive board members include community college administrators and elected officials to address challenges and solutions to continue providing a quality education, knowledge and skills to thousands of students.
“Our goal is to have a grievance free environment,” said LACCD/Chapter President Reginald McCoy. “That’s why we do this. We can solve problems before they start.”
