CCFT Constitution

 
(Ratified August 25, 1994; last amended April 5, 2004)

Article II. Membership, Dues, and Voting

Section 1. Membership

Membership will be open to all permanent and temporary faculty whose work assignments consist of less than sixty percent (60%) managerial duties. Meetings of the membership will be held at least once each semester. A member in good standing is one who pays dues ( II.2).

Section 2. Dues

Dues will be paid at the flat rate of one percent (1%) of base annual salary (not including overloads and summer session) for permanent faculty. Temporary faculty will be assessed at one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of their gross salary per semester, subject to a minimum of $15.00 $10.00 per month. [#1 ratified 10/22/1999]. No dues will be assessed during the summer session. Revenues produced by dues will be distributed between the required per capita payments to the affiliates (I.3) and the CCFT. Dues will be collected from members through payroll deduction (August-May).

Changes in dues assessment may be proposed by the Executive Board (III.2), and must be approved by a three-fifths majority vote of those voting.

Section 3. Voting

Voting is a right of membership in the CCFT (II.1): one person, one vote.

All elections will be decided by a simple majority of those voting, with the exception of the ratification of constitutional amendments, changes in dues, and the ratification of the constitution itself.

Only CCFT members are eligible to vote on matters that lie within the bargaining unit's statutory and contractual responsibilities.
