Union-Tribune: College district, faculty union settle salary dispute

A lengthy labor dispute ended last week at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges after the faculty union and the district reached a salary agreement.

Negotiations had stalled for more than a year.

In March, faculty members stopped volunteering for campus activities, including advising student clubs and serving on certain committees. The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District responded by filing an unfair-labor-practice complaint with the state, which hasn’t been resolved.
