CCPOA Weekly Update - February 3, 2012

CCPOA WEEKLY UPDATE — JANUARY 27, 2012

While just over 200 layoff notices are scheduled to go out this week, we were able to successfully negotiate a final transfer opportunity for these members — above and beyond the original agreement — to place them in permanent intermittent positions, if they so choose. If you receive this layoff notice, there will also be a Transfer Option Sheet enclosed — we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this Transfer Option and accept one of these positions. There are more than enough of these open positions to accommodate you, so every single one of you should complete and return this Option Sheet immediately...

CCPOA Weekly Update: January 13, 2012

Supervisory Update — By Kevin Raymond, Supervisory VP

On Monday evening we received more details regarding the impacts of AB 109— specifically, a list of the supervisory members whoʼve been mailed Option Worksheets by the state (a total of approximately 110 S06/M06 statewide). These worksheets must be returned by today January 13, 2012. In addition, we were scheduled to meet with the State on Thursday, January 12 to discuss supervisory seniority, as well as a myriad of other important issues. The state cancelled at the last minute, stating their decision makers were not available as the reason for cancellation. We are attempting to secure another date for this meeting. So hang in there, and stay tuned...

Furlough Case Update/Memo

State Board,

On Friday, February 26th 2010 the Court of Appeal issued a decision relative to our pending furlough appeal. Contrary to the missive written by the Sac Bee on its State Worker Blog. CCPOA DID NOT lose. As you may recall, CCPOA asked for the Court to dismiss the appeal filed by the State. They did....

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."

DPA sends CCPOA their LBF implementation plan

 On Sept. 18, 2007 DPA sends to CCPOA their LBF implementation plan. Accordingly over 40 sections of the MOU that were never even discussed previously are now eliminated. The State's initial 6 issues have now grown to over 40 issues. [DPA Memo & CCPOA Response]

Based on the letter from Ms Rodriquez of May 7, 2008 and DPA's commitments as represented by Mr. Smith at the recent PERB settlement conference, CCPOA understands the following...

Gilb’s February 15 letter

Dear Mr. Jimenez:

I am in receipt of your letter dated February 7, 2008, in which you continue to mischaracterize and distort the status of Labor Management Relations with Bargaining Unit 6. I will address each of your false assertions below.

First, however, I must address the last paragraph of your letter, which threatens unlawful conduct by your organization and your members. As the CCPOA President, you state, "I will immediately consult the CCPOA Executive Council to call for a vote on a job action. which may include a strike." (Emphasis original). Your threat demands a response because, as you concede, engaging in such a job action "places California in a perilous position." As sworn peace officers it is incumbent upon correctional officers not to use public safety...

Analysis: Correctional Officer Pay, Benefits, and Labor Relations

The administration proposes a 5 percent raise for correctional officers and legislation to allow it to impose a labor settlement on the officers' union, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA). We find that the officers' compensation levels are sufficient to allow the prisons to meet personnel needs at the present time, but we generally agree with other administration proposals to increase management control in prisons. We note that the dysfunctional relationship between the administration and CCPOA makes it more difficult to address the many issues facing the state's prison and personnel management systems...
