Supervisory Update: October 28, 2011
Regarding the saga that has become the elimination of the POFF II benefit for supervisors and managers it has been well documented in these updates that we requested numerous items in exchange for the lose back in April of 2011. So far we have not received any of the monetary items we requested. However two weeks ago we received notice from the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) Director Ron Yank that CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate has agreed to two additional items we requested.
Those items are the return of the CCPOA Supervisory Relief Time Bank and “super seniority” for our Supervisory Vice Presidents under post and bid (the Seniority Assignment - SA Agreement), just as the Chapter President and Chief Job Steward are given under the rank and fie MOU. We are attempting to secure a date next week to meet with CDCR Labor Relations to discuss just how and when the super seniority will be
implemented...

Supervisory Update: September 2, 2011
Representatives from the CCPOA Supervisory Division met with Ron Yank, Director of the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) and with Matthew Cate, Secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) on Monday August 29, 2011 regarding the elimination of the POFF II benefit to SO6/MO6 members.
Both of these individuals stated that they strongly believe supervisors and managers deserve something in return for the POFF II benefit. I do believe that they made this pitch to the Department of Finance (DOF) as well. However I also know that when dealing with DOF it all comes down to dollars and cents – every time...

The 35th annual CCPOA Training Conference is in the books. As usual it was an honor to meet the men and women on the front lines that represent our membership on a daily basis under the direst of conditions. Valuable insight is always gained in face-to-face meetings regarding differing opinions on our direction and where we need to improve. There is no doubt there is still work to be done. We are not where we need to be, and if we ever believe we have reached the target surely complacently will set in. It’s never over - but we can, and will, move forward...

Dear Supervisory Member:
It’s been a busy couple of weeks on the CCPOA Supervisory front. As pointed out in a previous update we met with CDCR upper management on July 15th over a myriad of issues. Most of which require CDCR Labor Relations to get back to us. With the number of limited term assignments, and the termination of those assignments, a major issue of how seniority is calculated has become one of those issues.
We have always operated under seniority in classification for the Seniority Assignment (SA) agreement, vacation bids etc. Most institutions have informed those returning to the classification of Sergeant, for example, from limited term Lieutenant that their Lieutenant time does not count as Sergeant seniority. While a select few institutions have told members the Lieutenant time does count as Sergeant seniority...
