In accordance with the Maine Community College Board of Trustees, the contractual agreement between the Maine Community College System and the Maine Community College Faculty Association will be negotiated through the Collective Bargaining process.

Contract

The Faculty Union is the sole negotiator of collective bargaining for all full- and part-time (not adjuncts) Faculty in the Maine Community College.  All aspects of our work are negotiated and codified into a bi-annual contract.  Below you will find a link to our CURRENT contract.

2021 - 2024 - Appendix H - Workload Agreements

Workload Agreement

Many aspects of our work is specific to the programs, resources, and culture of our individual campuses.  The contract allows for an extension of collecting bargaining to exist within the local Workload Agreement.  For many important issues related to our quality of work, this is a vital document.  This document can be continually updated as needed and reflects our ability to adapt to changes within our campus community.

Below you will find links to the CURRENT Workload Agreement and the Chair Compensation table.

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

At times there is a need to address a contractual issue that requires some "bending of the rules" per se.  These are also negotiated through the Union and the Labor Management Agreement.  

Here is a current update as to the expectations regarding COVID protocol (Posted 9/1/22)

  1. The COVID MOU requiring proof of vaccination will not be renewed. Therefore, there is no FT faculty requirement to show proof of COVID vaccination this year. Please contact me if you have any questions. 
  2. The MOU regarding dual modality has gone past the due date. This may be a work in progress due to the wording in the MOU. I will keep you posted on any developments moving forward.

There are no active MOUs at this point.
