Why Join MPFA?
We represent ALL part-time/contingent faculty, including instructors, librarians, & counselors.
- MPFA is the only faculty group that has the right to negotiate your salary, benefits, and working conditions.
- You benefit from the work of MPFA even if you don’t pay dues.
- You really do not have a voice or "say" in MPFA's actions unless you are a member.
The best way to show the district that you support our bargaining efforts is to be a paid & active member of MPFA.
If you are not able to join at this time - then commit to participate fully in any and all MPFA outreach activities including meetings, surveys, and anything for part-timers that the college offers.

Our Bargaining & Negotiating strength is only as strong as our membership numbers.

$36.01 monthly, 8 months per year (Oct-Dec & Feb-May)
NOTE: CTA (State) dues include a $20 Voluntary Dues Contribution to support CTA advocacy and the CTA Foundation for Teaching and Learning. Members not wishing to contribute may request a refund but you have to contact CTA directly. Neither the college nor MPFA can make this request for you.
MPFA (local) pays stipends to the board and negotiating team out of our funds that derive from our dues that we receive. The president of MPFA is paid a stipend by the college not from our treasury.
We apply for grants whenever available to help offset any membership development costs our chapter incurs (things like food and prizes for meetings and gatherings and "swag" such as the sun visors).
Other yearly costs include: secure, CTA approved elections and the web site/domain address
- MPFA (Local) receives $68.20
- CTA/CCA (State) receives $149.10
- NEA receives $70.75

Look - we get it.
Not everyone thinks they are able to join up and pay dues.
Think about it this way way though:
*Bargaining on YOUR behalf is not free. Stipends for our bargaining team are paid through dues revenue.
*Bargaining is a tremendous time commitment from the team - and it is stressful!
*You are depending on others to pay for you and benefitting without contributing.
Make a commitment to participate in everything MPFA that you can -
use a sunshade - wear a pin or branded item - come to meetings
let your voice be heard and your-self be seen.
