Phase 1 of the Severance Process was completed on September 18th 2008 when PERB determined that, quote, ". . . the support is sufficient to meet the requirement of Regulations 40200(b) and 32700"

This meant that 50%+1 of the eligible Peace Officers had signed a severance card saying they were in favor of a new State Bargaining Unit composed solely from sworn law enforcement employees (then) currently in State Bargaining Unit 7.

PERB then scheduled a Settlement Conference between all parties on October 22nd, 2008 and as no settlement could be reached, a series of hearings were scheduled for January, February and March 2009.

Those hearings have been completed and final Briefs were presented by all parties on Monday the 10th August, 2009.

Phase 2 will only happen if PERB rules that an election will be appropriate. If this were to be deemed inappropriate, then P.O.C. would continue to function with growing membership month by month as a Peace Officer Association.

Running in parallel, read about the landmark Edelen - Lewis PERB Decision and find out how that affects YOUR ability to get out of CAUSE / CSLEA!!

Intimidation: If you have been 'intimidated' by CAUSE / CSLEA for exercising your rights to campaign for a better way of doing things (severance) then 'click' here to see what your rebuttal might be based upon what other officers did!!!

 

See also what the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) has to say:

Summary of Rulings in Unfair Practice Cases

In Summary the section that says 'The right of employees covered by the PERB - administered statutes to "form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations" is enforceable against unions as well as employers. It is an unfair practice for an employee organization to "[i]mpose . . . reprisals on employees, to discriminate . . . or otherwise to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees because of their exercise of [protected] rights' says it all!!


If you follow 'this-link,' it will take you to a "document that will clearly show where the money came from that enabled the reopening of the last contract.  It directly counters anything CAUSE / CSLEA says in regards to any efforts THEY made to get the funds for the raises - that it did, indeed, come from Warden efforts

It proves that what the Wardens are saying is TRUE!!"

The above is an extract from a Letter to the General Manager from a Warden.


What to see how far you are behind compared to other States: Correctional Officers seem to have been well represented, but did CAUSE / CSLEA do a good job looking after YOUR interests:

 

Investigator:  -21.37%

Supervising Investigator:  -30.23%

 

Note: as one Investigator writes, "the figures are even then, gross underestimates" . . . and a Ranger added  (Click on the links in the sentence) . . .

 

See what the DPA says and see the figures for yourself:

Like Pay for Like work: the precedent has been well set!!

 


Many requests had been made in the past by various officers asking CAUSE / CSLEA for copies of the constitution and / or standing rules. Until recently, none of those officers had ever received a copy as requested.

What has been received is now posted below in chronological order for anyone that may find such information of benefit, especially if performing research to identify changes:

CAUSE Constitution, June 2004

CAUSE Constitution, Standing Rules, June 2004

CAUSE Constitution, Standing Rules, March 2007

CSLEA Constitution, August 2007

CAUSE Constitution, Standing Rules, August 2007
