HELP US AVOID A STRIKE: Tell the Napa Valley College Board of Trustees to Staff Up for Students

For the first time in Napa Valley College history, classified staff represented by SEIU have voted to authorize a strike, with 96 percent in favor, and the faculty union (NVCFA) has voted to strike in solidarity. These 125 essential workers, custodians, tech support, financial aid, student services, and more, have been fighting for a fair contract for nearly 18 months. While students face growing delays and staffing shortages, the District is spending public funds on expensive lawyers instead of investing in the frontline workers who keep the college running.

For the first time in Napa Valley College history, classified staff represented by SEIU have voted to authorize a strike, with 96 percent in favor, and the faculty union (NVCFA) has voted to strike in solidarity. These 125 essential workers, custodians, tech support, financial aid, student services, and more, have been fighting for a fair contract for nearly 18 months. While students face growing delays and staffing shortages, the District is spending public funds on expensive lawyers instead of investing in the frontline workers who keep the college running.

Classified staff are asking for fair wages, stable staffing, and limits on temp and contract labor because students deserve consistent, experienced support. Yet the District has rejected key proposals, even while sitting on 6 million dollars in unspent funds and paying one vice president over 21,000 dollars per month, while some staff rely on food banks.

Now is the time for accountability. Help us urge the NVC Board of Trustees and President Dr. Powell to work with staff, not against them, and support the workers who support our students.
