As we use our collective power as union members to fight unnecessary layoffs, there are also important legal rights and processes that are important to understand once notices have been received. If you are an SDEA member impacted by layoffs, please read this information carefully and make every effort to attend one of upcoming layoff informational meetings. 

Informational Meetings Regarding Layoffs 

There are two layoff informational meetings that will both be held at your SDEA union hall on March 18 and 19 at 4:30pm. At this meeting, impacted educators will receive important information regarding the layoff process, get questions answered, and have an opportunity to sign up for 1-on-1 meetings to support noticed members who may have violations of either their rights under the Ed. Code and/or SDEA Contract.

Space will be limited to only those members who receive layoff notices. 

More information and registration to attend one of the meetings will be forthcoming.  Stay tuned! 

Union Wide Grievance for Impacted Probationary Status Employees
The processes related to layoffs can be confusing especially as permanent and probationary layoffs are handled differently. Individual members and site reps do not need to file any layoff grievances at the site level. SDEA staff will be filing a union wide grievance on behalf of all probationary status employees that receive a layoff notice. Article 19 of the union contract details the process for layoff of probationary unit members.
