Susan Aminoff, a candidate for the Santa Monica College Board of Trustees this November, is one of several people who have been recognized for her labor-management efforts.

The Joint Labor/Management Benefits Committee of the Los Angeles College Faculty Guild has been selected as one of six winners of the Saturn/UAW Partnership Award for collaborative labor-management relations.

Established in 1997, the award pays tribute to exemplary models of union and management collaboration that utilize trust, teamwork, shared decision making, training, accountability, focus on quality and ability to survive conflict and change in order to achieve their common goals.

“Employees work closely with management to design a comprehensive health benefits program,” Aminoff said. “Throughout the year, we meet regularly to design the plans, select vendors and determine the appropriate level of employee cost sharing. The Joint Labor/Management Committee model is an efficient way to develop a health care program.”
