About CSEA Chapter 262

California School Employees Association (CSEA) has been in existence since 1926. In 1964, Mt. San Antonio Chapter 262 was chartered to represent Classified Employees. CSEA has the exclusive bargaining rights with the District. Salaries, Health and Welfare Benefits, Holidays, Longevity, Personal Necessity Leave and Professional Growth Incentives are some of the things negotiated each year.

Membership is voluntary, but only members of CSEA may vote on negotiated items. A three year agreement with the District currently runs through December 31, 2005.

The college administration does not select Chapter Leaders — you do! Your union, CSEA, is a member-run organization, which means members like you have a voice in what the union does on your behalf. The college administration has no authority over CSEA, and is prohibited by law from trying to influence union activities, dissuading employees from joining unions, or retaliating against employees for joining unions or participating in union activities. Only you with your union vote can control CSEA, which is why educating yourself about your union, becoming aware of campus issues that affect all employees, and actively involving yourself in union activities is vital to the success of CSEA to act on your behalf.
