California Associate Staff (CAS) is the exclusive bargaining entity for Associate Staff employed by the California Teachers Association. CAS was incorporated in 1971. CAS has the legal obligation to represent the interests of each bargaining-unit member while, at the same time, protecting collective interest.

ORGANIZING PLAN FOR 2008-2009

As you all know, this is a critical time for CAS and CSO.  The funding of the Retirement Trust will be a predominant issue at the bargaining table.   CTA’s refusal to freeze the Trust in the “Green Zone,” which would have allowed the Trust to work out a financially sound solution while retaining your current benefits, is a scare tactic being used as an attempt to gain bargaining leverage.
Your Bargaining and Organizing teams have been working hard to put together a collaborative and effective action plan to define the issues and build power to present to management a unified front, making our expectations clear – that we expect CTA to do the right thing and honor their service credit promises to their dedicated CAS and CSO staff.
