M-DCPS & DCSMEC TENTATIVE AGREEMENT

by Rolando Sardiñas on November 26, 2017

M-DCPS and DCSMEC have reached a Tentative Agreement for 2017/2018

Thanks to the unyielding effort of our negotiating team and active support from our members, we were able to obtain pay increases for all employees. Income that is retroactive to July 1, 2017 and is not offset by concessions or increases in out-of-pocket expenses.

“The DCSMEC membership deserve much more than available this year,” said Business Representative/Chief Negotiator Rolando Sardiñas. This is a favorable step forward taking into account the lack of funding provided by the Florida Legislature.

The DCSMEC family has maintained top level facilities, opening of schools, and recovered from Hurricane Irma (which affected the entire school district). The level of professionalism, devotion to job, and increased productivity displayed by DCSMEC members is commendable and deserving of recognition.

Details of the tentative agreement will be forthcoming very soon.

DCSMEC Letter of achievement

by Rolando Sardiñas on September 17, 2017

Miami-Dade County Public Schools will reopen Monday September 18, 2017 as the Superintendent requested.

I would like to extend my appreciation for the amazing work done by the DCSMEC family. The endless hours worked to be able to achieve the opening of schools and the professionalism that you have portrayed has impressed the entire district immensely and I am honored to represent you.

As I  followed each step of the process I realize it was the most important project thus far for our community and its success was of the utmost importance to get a sense of normalcy back to Miami-Dade County.

Your selfless dedication to leave your family many without power and answer the call of  civic duty and dedication  should be a source of pride to the district and a wake up call of the importance of a strong maintenance force.

I once again want to thank you for your extraordinary effort.

 

Rolando Sardiñas

Business Representative
