Collective Bargaining Agreements & MOUs
Most MetroED employees are represented by employee bargaining units. Your classification will determine, when appropriate, which bargaining unit will represent you. The District works cooperatively with its bargaining units in providing all employees with a safe, fair, and supportive work environment. If you are a member of a bargaining unit, be sure you are familiar with the unit's agreement with the District. The bargaining agreements specify many matters related to employment and employee benefits. Your unit should be in contact with you and can provide you with a copy of the agreement.
The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) represents hourly certificated teachers who teach classes primarily for adult students.
The California School Employees Association (CSEA) represents classified employees, including those employees in office, technical, para-educator, custodial, grounds and maintenance positions.
The California Teachers Association (CTA) represents certificated contract teachers who teach classes primarily for high school students.
Administrators, staff not supported by State or Federal funding, confidential, substitutes, hourly classified, and exempt classifications are not represented by a bargaining unit.

collective bargaining updates
Review the most recent proposals and details regarding contract negotiations with each of the district’s unions to stay up-to-date on each union’s position, as well as any potential compromises or agreements being considered. Understanding these negotiations will provide valuable insight into the district’s priorities, union members' concerns, and the overall direction of labor relations.
SVCTA
November 14, 2025
The District and SVCTA negotiating teams reached an agreement on Article 10000, which outlines updated roles, responsibilities, and compensation for Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO) leadership and teachers. The agreement clarifies the roles, responsibilities, and compensation for CTSO leadership and teachers, and ensures consistent support for student participation in these career-focused programs.
Both teams engaged in constructive dialogue throughout negotiations, demonstrating a shared commitment to strengthening high-quality CTE opportunities for students.
Because these updates affect current program planning, both teams agreed it was important to begin implementation now rather than wait for the full negotiations package to be completed. On December 10, 2025, the MetroED Governing Board approved the implementation of Article 10000 to advance the agreed-upon updates. This approval is a procedural requirement for agreements with fiscal components and does not constitute a complete contract or tentative agreement. The teams will continue to meet to work together on a new contract agreement during this bargaining cycle.
Thank you to the members of both teams for their professionalism and dedication throughout this process. Negotiations on the remaining articles continue.
