Survey – Wage Negotiations During our Fight for 5! Bargaining campaign, SDEA members won the right to return to the bargaining table this spring to bargain wage increases. Our current contract does not expire until June 30, The contract is closed, with no changes except to reopen to increase wages for That means benefits, class size, and anything else other than salary increases stay off the table.

The reopener section of the contract (Section 7.1.3) reads, “After approval of the state budget, the parties will reopen negotiations on this article, wages. Negotiations shall commerce no later than ten (10) days after the adoption of the state budget. The reopener shall be for the purpose of negotiating increases to wages.” By law, the state budget must be adopted by June 15 of each year. That means we’ll be heading to the bargaining table soon!

All Member Survey: Wage Prioritization Each SDEA member has $100 to use to increase member compensation, including base salary and all other forms of payment. In the boxes below, distribute your $100. For example, you could put all $100 in the salary increase box, $10 into each box, or any other combination that adds up to $100.

SURVEY: Members may allocate the $100 on any of the following  Across-the-board pay raise for all members  Increase pay for secondary members who serve as an adviser for school activities (These are “extended day units” earned by high school members who serve in positions such as athletic coach or newspaper adviser that last for a semester or longer.
