CMC facing limited layoffs
Of the 545 layoff warning notices the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sent out last week, only seven went to employees of the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo.
As part of a state prison realignment that is slated to reduce the prison population by 33,000 within two years by moving some offenders to county jails, staff numbers are also slated to decline. Throughout the state prison system, there are now 14,000 fewer inmates than there were six months ago...

Discussions about “plan” for possible layoffs result in misleading headline
Officials at the California Men’s Colony (CMC) met last week to discuss a plan to lay off about 200 employees.
Proposed layoffs at CMC include one chief deputy, two associate wardens, two captains, several lieutenants and sergeants as well as dozens of guards, sources at the prison said.
As part of the plan, last week, the California Department of Corrections sent letters to give prison employees a chance to dispute any discrepancies in their seniority standing, which is used in determining who is slated to be laid off,” according to the letters...

MOU
The final edits and corrections on the newly ratified MOU are taking place this week, and hopefully the MOU will be in the hands of the printer shortly. One quick note - there is some confusion regarding the Personal Development Days (PDD). Four PDDs will be posted on January 1, 2012 (no PDDs in 2011). PDDs must be used in the calendar year issued (use it, or lose it), therefore, PDD leave will be used prior to all other leave credits...

CDCR headquarters gets budget cut, layoffs
Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday announced the layoff of more than 130 employees at the state prison system's headquarters.
Brown's office said the layoffs and the elimination of about 266 vacant positions at California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation headquarters would reduce general fund spending by $30 million.
The cuts were first suggested two weeks ago, when Brown released a revised budget plan that included eliminating 5,500 positions statewide. Employees started receiving pink slips over the weekend...

SROA - Offers of Employment: Another Example of Management Stupidity
As you may recall in May of 2009 a large number of letters went out to BU6 Correctional Officers indicating that they were affected by a potential Layoff. Officers who received the Layoff letter also received a CDCR “pre-filled out” scantron indicating that, if subject to a layoff, they would work anywhere in the state. The names of all those officers were put on an SROA list.
CCPOA went to the negotiations table regarding the Layoff. The end result was that no Correctional Officer was laid off. This should have eliminated the need for the SROA List...

Schwarzenegger coming after unions - again
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has put organized labor squarely in his cross-hairs in 2010, opening a fight that will largely determine the shape of his final year in office.
Schwarzenegger's proposals would cut the size of the union workforce, reduce pay, shrink future pensions and roll back job protections won through collective bargaining.
Labor and the unions' Democratic allies are already girding for battle.
"It's a continuing jihad against organized labor," said Steve Maviglio, a Sacramento-based Democratic strategist. "The governor thinks public employee unions are Enemy No. 1."…

Breaking News: Schwarzenegger budget plan will include furlough, layoff options
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger plans to save $1.6 billion in state employee costs by maintaining monthly furloughs past next June, instituting layoffs or shifting general fund workers into positions financed by other revenues, according to sources familiar with the governor's forthcoming budget proposal.
California faces a $20.7 billion general fund budget deficit through June 2011, according to an estimate by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office. Schwarzenegger ordered an estimated 200,000 state workers to take two furlough days a month starting last February and then three per month starting in July to save an estimated $1.4 billion in general fund dollars. Under the governor's new budget proposal, furloughs could continue beyond the scheduled end date of June 2010…

CA Bureau of State Audits’ review of CDCR spending of federal stimulus
Dear Governor and Legislative Leaders:
On February 17, 2009, the President signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 (Recovery Act) to help fight the negative effects of the United States' economic recession. California expects to receive $85 billion in additional federal funding over the next several years for both new and existing federal programs. With this increased funding comes a renewed emphasis on accountability and public transparency to ensure federal funds are spent properly. A key component of such accountability and transparency is the California State Auditor's Office (State Auditor's Office) annual report on internal control and compliance with federal laws and regulations.

Recidivism feared with rehab reduction in California prisons
The state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation will soon slash drug rehab programs for state inmates as part of $1.2 billion in budget cuts - though some fear the severe program reduction may be more trouble than its benefit.
The system will have enough money to treat 2,350 inmates, down 80 percent from the current 12,164. State officials say between 600 and 900 counselors and teachers will be laid off in the corrections drug rehab and academic reduction plan.

Safety at Patton disputed: Supervisor blasts policy change on security staffing
Public safety is threatened due to staffing cuts at Patton State Hospital that are leaving criminally insane patients under the supervision of unarmed staff, San Bernardino County Supervisor Neil Derry said Tuesday.
Directly under attack: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Matthew L. Cate, who Derry says authorized the staffing changes that took effect Oct. 26.The changes resulted in a shift of several job duties from sworn correctional officers to Department of Mental Health employees, including visitor processing.
"Patton's a little different than most mental health facilities," Derry said. "These are violent, insane people who snap on a regular basis. The idea of having a mental health specialist in the visitor center guarding innocent civilians is ridiculous on its face…"

Union protests prison teacher layoffs
About 30 union members Wednesday protested the upcoming layoffs of prison teachers and staff members, saying the job cuts will lead to more crime and cause parolees to return to prison because they will lack education and skills.
The protest by members of Service Employees International Union Local 1000 specifically targeted Assembly Member Danny Gilmore, R-Hanford, because his district includes 14 prison and rehabilitation facilities.
Union members say about 230 of the laid-off workers, who could lose their jobs in January, live in Gilmore's district. About 800 prison teachers, supervisors and support staff in the adult rehabilitation programs statewide could be laid off, said Elizabeth Figgins, a spokeswoman for the adult programs of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation…

Editorial: “Prison no place for indiscriminate penny-pinching”
If you know people who work at Pelican Bay State Prison (and who doesn't in Del Norte County?) be kind to them. They are probably feeling under siege.
There's a tendency to think of the 1,500-plus Pelican Bay workers as the lucky ones around here, pulling in wages and benefits equal to their counterparts in more expensive parts of California. Certainly they earn more than most of the local work force, and we should all be thankful for that because the prison payroll is obviously a big driver of our region's economy.
So we're not saying feel sorry for them. Just be kind to them…

SEIU files unfair labor practice charge against CDCR
Service Employees Local 1000 on Friday filed an unfair labor practice charge against the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for failing to meet and confer over layoffs that could commence Sept. 15.
Employees working jobs that departments plan to eliminate will be receiving notices soon, since the state must give an employee a 30-day notice before a layoff. But before that happens, departments must meet and confer with unions at least 60 days prior to laying off represented employees.
The meet and confer sessions aren't just a formality, Local 1000 negotiator Cindie Fonseca said in a telephone interview with us Monday. Meetings with the Department of Veterans Affairs , for example, brought the number of SEIU-covered employee layoffs from 50 down to seven…

Arnold Schwarzenegger: Sticking It to “America’s Best”
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is accomplishing right now what he failed to do in 2005 when he tried to put the state's major labor unions out of business and downsize the state government. At that time there was no economic catastrophe to point to as an excuse to shred the social safety net. But today, thanks to an economic crisis his good friend George W. Bush gave us, he's launching a frontal assault against virtually all of the state's public sector institutions. California Republicans have always hated social programs they believed mirrored Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and they've tried in good times and in bad to dismantle them. Now they're seizing the current crisis to enact their wildest free-market fantasies.
"No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background," Schwarzenegger told an adoring crowd at the 2004 Republican National Convention, "America brings out the best in people. And as governor of the great state of California, I see the best in Americans every day — our police, our firefighters, our nurses, doctors, and teachers, our parents."
And now he's proudly sticking it to those same people he praised so fulsomely five years ago when it was politically expedient for him to do so…

A few months back, it looked as if California government might join the ranks of employers letting go of their workers in droves. For the time being, though, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is holding off on his threat to lay off 10,000 state employees.
What changed? One big factor was the budget deal that the guv cinched with legislative leaders in February. That helped close a $40 billion budget hole (although another big gap is re-emerging as the economy continues to sputter).
And part of the budget deal forced state workers to take one- or two-day-a-month unpaid furloughs through mid-next year, so it's not as if they're getting by unscathed…
