Listed below are some of the questions we receive and ones that you may have. If you don’t find what you are looking for below please email any member of Our Team.
One way to check is by viewing your paystub – are dues being deducted starting with your second paycheck of the semester? You can also check with CTA online, or by contacting Coast CCA.
If you are not a member, you can register online with CTA (our sister organization - your registration will be forwarded to us) at the link on our Resources Page or contact a member of Our Team for an application.
Please email or contact any of the board members or your campus representative!
A grievance is a perceived violation of some section of the contract. Harassment and unfair labor practices, for example, are not grievances but can and should be pursued through other means. When in doubt email the grievance officer.

Yes! Faculty in our unit are eligible for up to $2800 in reimbursements for conference-related expenses or college tuition. Please email a member of Our Team prior to incurring any non-refundable expenses to start your application.
Dues are paid 4 times during the semester, they are deducted monthly from your paycheck starting after the 16-week census date each semester. About 25% of your dues go to our local chapter, half stays at the state level going to the Community College Association (CCA) and California Teacher’s Association (CTA), and the remainder goes to the National Education Association – the largest professional employee organization for public education with over 3 million members. Dues pay for support staff, legislative advocates, member activities, and member benefits.
While faculty under our contract can qualify for priority assignment rights after certain conditions are met, these rights do not guarantee a particular class or schedule.
For more specific scheduling questions and samples of scheduling outcomes with references to our contract, you can view the Scheduling FAQs on the Resources page of our website.
Please contact us to discuss your situation and assess if a grievance is warranted.
As part-time faculty, we are contingent workers. Even if you receive written communication confirming your classes or are asked to sign a load sheet, your classes can still be canceled or given to a full-time faculty member up to a few weeks into the new semester.
Since your position for the next semester is not guaranteed, as soon as you have finished work for the current semester, you are eligible to file for unemployment benefits.
To ensure that your filing process goes smoothly, you may want to attend an unemployment workshop. These trainings are offered online towards the end of each semester and you can check our Events calendar for upcoming dates.
Coast CCA has many opportunities with compensation for your
time. Our only requirements are your participation and willingness to learn!
Want to get started with a lower time commitment? We need campus
representatives to keep us informed about your school’s events, trainings, and emailed updates. You can also receive union training by attending conferences, and can help us with presentations, social events, and member communications. Campus representatives are paid by the hour at the non-instructional rate.
Ready for a bigger commitment? You can serve in an elected board position as President, Vice President of Communications, or Vice President of Grievances. Duties for these positions are outlined in our bylaws and a monthly stipend is paid during the school year.
