The California Department of Education (CDE) won't be outsourcing jobs to so-called visiting educators after withdrawing a request at the State Personnel Board (SPB) that, if approved, would have authorized the questionable hiring practice.

Who is Unit 21:
Educational Consultants and Librarians includes consultants who work with educational programs from pre-kindergarten through post-secondary or higher education, and the State librarians and archivists. 

Local 1000 represents nine different bargaining units and over 95,000 state employees. The power of these numbers enables us to make workplace improvements that make life better for everyone.

This is a summary of the tentative agreement for Unit 21. To learn more about all tentative agreements, visit the Contract Ratification page.

We recently completed the first Joint Labor/Management Committee meeting for Professional Development as provided for in article 13.18 of the Unit 21 Memorandum of Understanding between the state and Local 1000. This committee met and developed the first Unit 21 survey to gather useful information relative to the professional development needs of Unit 21 employees at the Department of Education.
