MOU Letter “Demand to Bargain in Good Faith”

Dear Mr. Gilb:

On December 7, 2007. the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) issued an unfair practice complaint against the State alleging that the State cannot lawfully implement all three years of its last best and final offer (LBFO) which was imposed on Bargaining Unit 6......

DPA Letter to EEs - Dated 12.14.07

SUBJECT: Status of Implemented Terms

In correspondence to you dated September 18, 2007, we informed you of our intention to implement certain terms and conditions of employment following the rejection of our final offer by CCPOA. In that correspondence we, informed you of our intention to implement all three years of the economics contained in that offer. 

CCPOA Memo re: DPA Letter - Dated 12.14.07

State Board, 

Yesterday, December 13,2007, we sent you a copy of the Department of Personnel Administration's (DPA) initial response letter to the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). In this letter, DPA has withdrawn the second and third year "economic proposals" of its (State's) implemented package. The significance ofthis is quite obvious in that, as we predicted long ago, this Administration never intended to honor any multiyear year package including any pay increase to Unit 6. Also, with the current budget problems created by this Administration, it remains to be seen whether the pay promised to Unit 6 for this year will happen.

In reading the letter further, you will note that the State "agrees" with CCPOA's complaint regarding the "omission" of the vice presidents' leave (VPL) in the last best and final. As a result, this section ofthe LBF  will presumably be honored by the State. That remains to be seen.
