From Rene Rodgriquez, President, VCCCDRA
Dear VCCCDRA Retirees,
Things are moving faster than anticipated regarding the Chancellor’s desire to impose Medicare and a CalPERS supplemental plan on retirees thereby replacing the current Anthem Blue Cross and Kaiser plans.
At the meeting with the AFT on Friday, the District’s negotiator declared an impasse on negotiations. An EMERGENCY Board of Trustees meeting has been called for this Thursday, September 19, at 6:30 pm.
WE ARE ASKING ALL RETIREES ABLE TO ATTEND
TO MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT
TO ATTEND THIS MEETING ON
THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 2019 AT 6:30 PM,
at 761 East Daily Drive, Camarillo, CA 93010
There are many problems connected with the CalPERS plans that the Chancellor is promoting. We pointed out some of these problems at the September 10 Board of Trustees meeting.
The Chancellor is wrong in trying to pursue this course of action because the District will have to breach longstanding contractual agreements with the AFT and the SEIU, as well as breach the settlement agreement reached with retirees in 2010.
Presentations at this Board of Trustees meeting will try to help the Board of Trustees and the Chancellor understand how the District will be forced to breach contract language and settlement agreement language in order to move towards a CalPERS plan.
Presentations are limited to 3 minutes, and if you do not plan to make a presentation, you can still fill out a form and relinquish your time to someone who needs more time for their presentations. This helps the leadership have their say on behalf of retirees.
We will endeavor to publish individual presentations on this VCCCDRA blog as they become available.
Come early to assure yourselves a seat in the Boardroom. I hope to see as many of you as can make this meeting. Thank you.
