Special Review: Management of Union Leave Time by CDCR
This report presents the results of a special review conducted by the Office of the Inspector General of the management of union leave time by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The review was conducted under the authority of California Penal Code section 6126, which assigns the Office of the Inspector General responsibility for oversight of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. California Government Code sections 3512 through 3524 (the Ralph C. Dills Act) require state agencies to allow a reasonable number of representatives of employee unions a reasonable amount of time off without loss of compensation to meet and confer with state representatives on matters within the scope of union representation. The amount and type of union leave time is subject to negotiation between the state and its 21 recognized bargaining units.
