Chemeketa Faculty Association (CFA)

CFA is your union. According to the contract between Chemeketa and CFA, CFA is the "exclusive representative of the part-time instructional staff, consisting of all counselors, librarians, cooperative work experience assistants, instructors in credit classes and instructors in noncredit programs of Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language, High School Completion, and General Educational Development, who are employed part-time by Chemeketa Community College and are not members of any other recognized bargaining unit at the College."

Some of the benefits that have been negotiated for you by CFA are professional development monies, sick and emergency leave with pay, tuition waivers, compensation for required meetings, additional pay for course development, and 45 hours of free Internet access a month.

Both Active members and Fair Share members pay the same dues, and both are covered under the same contract with the College.

To become an active CFA member you will need to sign a membership form available in the CFA office, Bldg 3/261A - Salem campus. Membership forms may also be obtained from any of the Executive Board members, by calling the OEA office: 1-800-858-5505, or leaving a request on the CFA voice mail: 399-6292.
