CCPOA Weekly Update - February 10, 2012

CCPOA WEEKLY UPDATE — FEBRUARY 10, 2012

DJJ Update — By Daryl Lee, DJJ VP

All of our hard work — and Iʼm of course including all of you in this — is finally starting to pay off. First, weʼve successfully saved one of those three DJJ board coordinating parole agent positions from layoff by finding them to a position in DAPO. Second, weʼve heard a number of legislators share our concern about the proposed DJJ closure during our ongoing meetings at the Capitol. Policymakers appear to be looking for an alternative, and fortunately, thatʼs exactly what weʼre preparing to give them. Next weekʼs Juvenile Justice Summit will be the next big step in this process, bringing stakeholders together to hopefully unite behind a comprehensive plan for safe, effective and cost-effective juvenile justice reform — an approach that recognizes the unique roles of both DJJ and county facilities. The summit will take place on February 15 and 16 in Sacramento — weʼll be sure to provide you with an update of this important event...

CCPOA WEEKLY UPDATE — JANUARY 20, 2012
 
CDC Update — By Chuck Helton, CDC VP
Well, hereʼs another one for the “donʼt confuse us with the facts” file. In August 2011, CDCR mailed a letter to CCPOA members providing each person with their seniority scores (as of April 2011), broken into two categories — Unit 6 and state time. Unfortunately, many of these letters gave incorrect seniority data. And whatʼs worse, this fact wasnʼt readily apparent to those receiving the letters — since the scores were already four months old and the data was presented in an extremely confusing manner. To add insult to injury, CDCR is using this incorrect seniority data as the basis for issuing layoff notices, meaning that theyʼre likely to issue lay off notices to the wrong people!...

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...

DJJ Update — By Daryl Lee, DJJ VP
 
Itʼs only the first week and I can already tell that 2012 is destined to be a very busy year. First and foremost, the Governorʼs 2012-13 Budget Proposal calls for the complete shift of all youthful offenders to local jurisdictions by Jan. 1, 2013. We will obviously be employing every technique at our disposal to dissuade the Governor from this shift. However, if it does come to pass, we will work to ensure continued employment for every displaced DJJ employee...
