The Faculty Association
- provides access to legal representation for
its members for both job-related matters and personal matters.
In job-related matters, there is no cost to a faculty member for
legal representation up to and beyond the point of litigation. For
personal matters, the faculty member will receive legal representation
at a reduced rate. For more detailed information, contact BCCFA
President, Peter Helff (201-447-7988), or the NJEA Uniserv Office
for Higher Education (609-689-9580, Julie Brenner, Uniserv Rep).
- is affiliated with the National Education Association
(NEA), the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA), and the Bergen
County Education Association. These affiliations provide political
and legislative representation for BCCFA members at the national,
state, and county levels. Services provided by the NEA and NJEA
include “bill tracking” issues of importance to community college
faculty, communicating with federal and state legislators to relay
comments and concerns of the faculty, and working with the BCCFA
Executive Committee to review and prioritize current legislation
viewed as important to us.
- acts on behalf of all BCCFA members in negotiating
changes to salary, benefits, and working conditions at the College. Recent
important changes have included such items as the negotiation
of the BCC-BCCFA Contract settlement for 2004-2007, of pension
improvements for members in the PERS
and TPAF
retirement systems, and of modifications to the College's distance
learning program.
- monitors the conduct of College policy-recommending
committees and other bodies to ensure that faculty issues and
concerns are given appropriate consideration.
- facilitates communication with the BCCFA newsletter,
Union Matters, distributed campus-wide
each semester, through printed and email bulletins and memos on
important issues that affect BCCFA members, and through this (new)
website.
