A Letter to Matt Cate

Dear Mr. Cate:

This letter is written on behalf of all the men and women that work for you in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations that are represented by Bargaining Unit 6.

In opening, we feel compelled to refresh your memory regarding the furloughing of Unit 6 members. On or about December 19, 2008, the Governor issued Executive Order S-16-08 directing State agencies to furlough employees for two days per month. On or about July 9, 2009 the Governor added a third furlough day via Executive Order S-13-09. These Executive Orders contained "limited" exemptions but also specifically exempted those who provide "service and functions of state government directly related to the preservation and protectionof human life and safety."

New Directions A blueprint for reforming California’s prison system

A blueprint for reforming California’s prison system to protect the public, reduce costs and rehabilitate inmates

California Correctional Peace Officers Association 

January 2010

CALIFORNIA’S PRISON SYSTEM is failing at every level. The cost to taxpayers and public safety for this failure is staggering. More than 170,000 inmates are now being warehoused in facilities designed to accommodate 80,000 inmates. Coupled with severe staff shortages, this overcrowding is inordinately jeopardizing the safety of inmates and correctional officers, while straining prison resources and infrastructure to the breaking point. Today, an average of nine correctional officers are assaulted every day inside California prisons, while tens of thousands of inmates are being denied the help and incentives needed to help make them productive citizens.

Inmate rehabilitation programs are failing, turning prison gates into revolving doors, giving California one of the nation’s highest recidivism rates. Thousands of inmates who have served their sentences are being released without the education, job training or basic life skills needed to function in society. With few chances to succeed, they have little choice but to return to crime.

California’s parole policies are also failing. Parole officers are overworked and overwhelmed. Parolees are receiving neither the services nor support they need to find jobs, deal with substance abuse or resolve psychological issues. This is wasting their lives, bankrupting taxpayers and endangering public safety

Following is our blueprint for fixing California’s broken prison system — a plan that offers relevant reform at multiple levels. Together, these reforms will save billions of tax dollars, protect the public and help inmates turn their lives around.

MIKE JIMENEZ, President 

California Correctional Peace Officers Association

CCPOA’s Reply to Opposition to Request for Injunction Relief

CCPOA replies to the Opposition to Request for Injuctive Relief. CCPOA's demand for a resumption of bargaining is an issue of first impression under the Dills Act; however, "construing and applying the duty to bargain... [is a] task lying at the heart of the Board's function."

Request for Injunctive Relief

On March 11, 2008, CCPOA filed this REQUEST FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF with the Public Employment Relations Board. The complaint is basically an allegation that the State is in violation of the law by their refusal to return to the negotiations table with CCPOA for the purpose of negotiating an MOU. This is predicated on a "change in circumstance" that CCPOA believes has taken place since the LBFO was implemented that mandates a return to bargaining. Our complaint points out several substantial changes since the imposition of the LBFO including:

• DPA's failure to secure Legislative approval for the LBFO
• The Governor's declaration of a fiscal state of emergency, and
• The PERB's issuance of a complaint regarding the duration of the LBFO.
