Joint Advocacy. Options and the Union further commit to two joint advocacy/lobbying trips to Sacramento between January 10 and the signing of the State Budget each year, in order to advocate for a full cost-of-living contract rate adjustment, increases in contract rates in addition to a cost-of-living adjustment, and to oppose any cuts to rates or funding for child development programs operated by Options and staffed by Options’ employees included in the bargaining unit. Nothing in this Article prevents Options or the Union from advocating for other benefits or programs while on joint advocacy trips.
Joint AdvocacyThe Employer and the Union will jointly advocate for the funds to be of a continuing nature such that the funds may be permissibly used for employee wages. However, any distribution that parties agree upon must be consistent with the terms and conditions imposed upon the Employer by the grantor regarding the use of the funds. In the event funds are used for employee wages, and there is a discontinuation of such funds, any associated wage increases shall also be discontinued. The Employer shall notify the Union of the dollar amount received within five (5) business days of receipt of such funds, and bargaining shall commence no later than twenty (20) days after notification. During the bargaining for a new Article XXIII - Wages, the parties agree that Article 26.3 is not in effect until the parties reach an agreement on Article XXIII - Wages.
Joint AdvocacyThe Employer and the Union share common goals of building a more just community, improving health care for all residents, and ending homelessness. Our two organizations' missions are closely aligned: The Employer's mission is: "... to end the homelessness of vulnerable people, particularly those with serious mental and addictive illnesses. Through partnerships and an integrated array of comprehensive services, treatment and housing, we give people the opportunity to reach their highest potential. ·At DESC, uncommon efforts produce uncommon results that eliminate homelessness, one person at a time.'' The mission statement of the Union's Campaign for Quality Mental Health Care states that: ". . . we are committed to build a quality mental health system that provides affordable, accessible services for all who need them. We stand for adequate public funding, access to mental health services and treatment for all those in need; services that promote recovery and resilience; reasonable caseloads; and fair pay, benefits and respect for all workers. We will work with consumers, advocates, and all allies who share our vision." Both our organizations believe that homelessness, along with mental illness and chemical dependency, are public social and health problems that require public solutions. Our two organizations are partnering for solutions because we know that together we can achieve our common vision. Through this partnership we will unite our complementary strengths to improve funding and support for vital community services and housing. We agree to develop joint strategic projects in public policy advocacy and action, coalition-building, and community education. We also agree to work collaboratively to build new forms of labor- management relationships, ones that focus on problem-solving at the agency level and joint work at the public policy and funding levels. We mutually recognize that our best opportunity for success lies in the full participation of all advocates, including frontline staff.

For example, COMM 6 – Intercultural Communication, can fulfill (3) units of the Behavioral Science requirement and (3) units of the Cultural Diversity requirement.
