CVEU/CAVA Bargaining Team has begun negotiations with the CAVA Bargaining Team for the 25-26 SY. 

• CVEU/CAVA Bargaining Session 1/26/2025: CVEU presented proposals for Article 4 (Union Rights), Article 13 (Compensation), and Article 17 (Caseloads).

• CVEU/CAVA Bargaining Session  2/12/2025: Both teams discussed their perspectives and the language proposed for each item.  CAVA did not agree with the CVEU proposals, yet they did not provide counter offers for Articles 13 and 17. By the end of this session all articles are still open and all are in CAVA’s hands. To avoid any more delay in a settlement, CVEU asked for an additional meeting. CVEU and CAVA will meet next on 3/17/2025 and 3/26/2025.​

• CVEU/CAVA Bargaining Session 3/17/2025: CAVA rejected all CVEU proposals for Article 17 (Caseload) due to financial concerns, meaning no changes will be made for the next school year. While this is disappointing, the bargaining team remains committed to pushing for fair solutions in upcoming sessions on March 26, April 9, and April 29. Members are encouraged to stay involved and continue showing solidarity. Updates will be provided as negotiations progress.

We will send more updates as they develop. A more detailed update can be found in your bargaining update emails. Current proposals can be found on this CVEU website here, or click the menu item "Committees" then "Bargaining".
