ACE Members,
During times of uncertainty it can be reassuring to know that there are support structures we can depend on to have our backs. ACE is committed in service of our purpose and focused on our objectives outlined within our Constitution (LINK):
Article 1 – Name, Purpose and Objectives
1.1 Name
Foothill-De Anza Association of Classified Employees (ACE) is the name of this employee organization.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of ACE is to represent its members who are classified employees in Unit 1 employed by Foothill-De Anza Community College District (District) pursuant to the Educational Employment Relations Act, commencing with Section 3540 of the Government Code (EERA).
1.3 Objectives of ACE
The objectives of ACE shall be to improve the wages, work hours and working conditions of its members, to promote active participation of its members in the decision-making processes of ACE and District; to promote the economic, intellectual and social welfare of its members; and to represent them in all disputes with their employer.
As a result of National and State elections I can’t immediately predict the challenges to public higher education, the District, or collective bargaining, but I know our independent labor organization will respond and continue to represent members. We continue to receive excellent legal advice from the Booth Law Group, which has helps anticipate labor law changes. Our Negotiations Team is highly effective at improving our Agreement, which provides benefits beyond Ed Code. Members can feel confident that we will continue to deliver on objectives.
We’re still here. We’re still operating with a purpose.
In Solidarity,
Scott Olsen (he/him) | ACE President
