Peace Officers of California

 

Donate to P.O.C. so we can continue fighting for your Rights:

Marty Morgenstern joins the Peace Officers of California (P.O.C.) team as chief negotiator for a new bargaining unit.

 

Mr. Morgenstern has been the Director of the Department of Personnel Administration twice (the State department that is responsible for negotiating pay contracts with all State employee Unions), from 1999-2003 and 1981-1982) and has served as Chair of the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education, as Board member of the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB) and Director of the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations.  Mr. Morgenstern is widely considered the most preeminent authority on collective bargaining in the state.

 

Mr. Morgenstern will head negotiations for P.O.C. and report directly to the affiliate board.  Each board member shall have equal access to information and members shall have access to vote records (not currently provided for by CAUSE / CSLEA). All bargaining contracts will require approval by general membership vote.  Marty was present at the birth of the collective bargaining process nearly 30 years ago and is confident that P.O.C. can establish a new union with better representation.

 

P.O.C. will be making Mr. Morgenstern available for membership meetings via conference calls or in person in the Sacramento, Bay Area, and possibly Los Angeles regions.  As you may know, PERB is the governor’s appointed body that regulates severance petitions.  Marty is uniquely qualified, as former member of PERB and Director of DPA, to answer questions about the process and benefit of being in a sworn only union.  

 

“I have no doubt that an all-sworn bargaining unit will achieve a better contract for Peace Officers than a unit mixing sworn and non-sworn employees”, said Mr. Morgenstern.  “I look forward to representing you and P.O.C. at the bargaining table.” 

 

P.O.C. is ready to bargain on behalf of the sworn employees now today.  With the best possible representation at the bargaining table, open access to information and a president elected by the membership, P.O.C. cannot fail.
