I’m reposting this original e-mail message from Executive VP Seaman to our listserve:
Good day to all Federation (PCCFFAP) members!
Last week I attended a meeting of the PCC tobacco-free enforcement
committee. At that meeting, some of the public safety staff (who happen
to be our close friends in PCCFCE) said that staff are not supporting
the tobacco-free policy in some areas - mainly looking the other way
when fellow staff members choose to violate the policy. I know it can
be hard to tell a peer to follow college policies, but the video
production staff just made a terrific new video that provides some great
tips:

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter. Our public
safety officers have a very difficult job, and we should support them,
just as we expect to be supported as we carry college policies to do our
jobs. - Peter

The Federation Negotiations Team and Administration have reached a tentative agreement on our next contract.
The Federation Executive Council will vote on Friday, June 5, whether to send it to the membership for ratification. If the council sends it to the membership, then members will receive ballots at their home address within days, with a ballot return deadline of June 15. If the contract is approved by our members, then on June 18 the PCC Board of Directors will vote to approve at their regular monthly board meeting (7:30 PM at Southeast Campus).
If you have any questions or comments on the proposed contract, please post them here, and we will respond to them.
Hello Members. Welcome to the PCC Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals blog. Feel free to post your comments and recommendations here.
Remember, together, we make a difference!
In Unity,
