Membership Authorization Policy
Membership Authorization Policy
Passed by the CCFF Executive Board on October 07, 2024.
Yes, I want to join my fellow employees and become a member of the American Federation of Teachers (“AFT”) Local 6215 (“the Union”). I hereby request and voluntarily accept membership in the Union and its successors or assigns (collectively the “Union”). This means I will receive benefits and agree to abide by the obligations of membership set forth in the Constitutions and Bylaws of the Local, the CFT, and the AFT. I authorize the Union to act as my exclusive representative in collective bargaining over wages, benefits, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with my employer, and as my exclusive representative where authorized by law. My membership in the Union shall be continuous unless I resign by providing notice to my Local President in writing via U.S. mail (or other method if permitted by local Union policies) within 15 days before or after (1) the annual anniversary date of my signature on this agreement or (2) the termination of the applicable collective bargaining agreement between my employer and Union (my “window periods”) of my intent to resign membership. I know that union membership is voluntary and not a condition of employment and that I can decline to join without reprisal. ,
Please contact Local President at President@ccffcerritos.org for the Membership Drop Form.
Dues Authorization policy
Dues Authorization policy
Passed by the CCFF Executive Board on October 07, 2024.
I hereby request and voluntarily authorize my employer to deduct from my earnings and to pay to the Union and its successors and assign (collectively the “Union”) an amount equal to the Union’s regular dues. This dues deduction authorization shall remain in effect unless I revoke it by providing notice to my Local President via U.S. mail (or other method if permitted by Union’s policies) within 15 days before or after (1) the annual anniversary date of my signature on this agreement or (2) the termination of the applicable collective bargaining agreement between my employer and Union (my “window periods”). This dues deduction authorization will renew automatically from year to year even if I have resigned my membership, unless I revoke it during a window period and as required by the Union’s policies. This dues authorization is voluntary and is not a condition of my employment, and I can decline to agree to it without reprisal. I understand that all members benefit from everyone's commitments because they help to build a strong union that is able to plan for the future. This dues authorization will remain effective if my employment with the Employer ends and I am later re-employed by the Employer. It is my responsibility as a member to notify the Union if I believe my deductions are incorrect or if I am no longer in a bargaining unit represented by the Union. The Union is authorized to deposit this authorization with my current Employer(s) and with any other Employer(s) under contract with an affiliate of the AFT in the event I change Employers or obtain additional employment.
Contributions or gifts to Local 6215 are not tax deductible as charitable contributions.

Expense reimbursement policy
Expense reimbursement policy
General
The president/executive director can approve individual expenses up to $250 as long as they do not exceed the amount of money that has been allocated to the budget line item from which the expense will be reimbursed.
Any expenses in excess of $250 must be approved by the Executive Board.
Applying for Reimbursement
Whenever possible, individuals should apply for the reimbursement of expenses within 30 days by submitting the CCFF Reimbursement form to the union president who will make sure the expenses were pre-approved, then forward the form to the treasurer.
The form should be accompanied by itemized receipts for all expenses. Credit card receipts which do not itemize what was purchased will not be reimbursed.
Reimbursement for travel expenses will be denied if the individual failed to attend the event.
Travel Expenses
Any travel expenses, including mileage for attending meetings, must be pre-approved.
The president/executive director can approve travel expenses up to $250 per trip as long as they do not exceed the amount of money that has been allocated for that budget line item.
Any travel expenses in excess of $250 must be approved by the union’s Executive Board.
An individual traveling on union business will be given a maximum amount that can be spent on the trip. Expenses in excess of the pre-authorized amount must be approved by the Executive Board.
Mileage
Mileage by private automobile shall be at the current IRS mileage rate. When more than one individual attends the same event and private transportation is used, carpooling is strongly encouraged. If two or more people share a personal vehicle, only one person shall be reimbursed for mileage expenses. Mileage will be reimbursed by calculating the distance from the point of departure to the conference/event. Reimbursement for mileage may not exceed the total cost of coach airfare and other transportation costs to the same destination.
Lodging
Lodging expenses will not be reimbursed for travel within 50 miles of the individual’s home or the campus. Any special circumstances will require approval by the executive board before the travel event takes place.
Meals
Payment for meals, including gratuities, shall be reimbursed at no more than $60 per day except where reimbursement is being requested to cover the costs of feeding more than one person. Reimbursement for meals will be paid upon submission of original itemized receipts. If the receipt covers more than one person, the names of the additional people must be listed. If meals are included in the cost of a conference, convention, committee meeting, training seminar, etc., charges for additional meals or a substitute for the included meals will not be reimbursed, unless the traveler has special dietary requirements. When meals are charged to a hotel room, the original itemized receipt for the meal must be provided – a line-item charge on the hotel bill will not be sufficient documentation. Credit card receipts which do not itemize the contents of meals purchased will not be reimbursed.
