MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE RIO HONDO COLLEGE DISTRICTMemorandum of Agreement • August 10th, 2021
Contract Type FiledAugust 10th, 2021The District and CSEA want to address the safety, employment issues, and concerns as employees return to campus during this third wave of COVID-19. The District has both the responsibility and the authority to direct the return to on campus work while upholding the ongoing requirement to assess workplace hazards and implement controls to prevent transmission of COVID-19 and its variants. This agreement incorporates the most recent standards set out by Cal/OSHA among other updates. Although Cal/OSHA’s revisions don’t all align with the July 26 guidance from the California Department of Public Health (not currently applicable to Rio Hondo District) – which is based on guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention--, the urgency of that directive is convincing and important.
