Peace Officers of
California's (P.O.C.) first
commitment is to increase pay for
all Peace Officers, with
pay-parity as our ultimate priority! Full
POST
training for all
P.O.C.
members will also be of the
highest priority.
HPO’s (Hospital
Police Officer’s) work can range from dangerous custodial work with
violent clients to all the hazards that go along with standard patrol
duty. Guns, drugs, domestic violence, traffic stops and the potential
for dangerous clients, it is all part of your job.
Your counterparts at
the federal, State, and local level make A LOT more money than you do.
Take a look at what
some of the other State Peace Officers are earning, some
members are earning more than $200,000 with overtime. That is not a jab
at other unions but rather a demonstration of how effective an
all Peace Officer union can be.
HPAC needs their fair
share of
release time and
dues money
to put boots on the ground at the State Capitol with a mission to
inform.
If CAUSE / CSLEA
used their release time appropriately,
there would be more than enough State-paid time for a half-dozen HPO’s
to visit the Capitol every week – for a year! How many times has the
HPAC President been to the Capitol this year, who did she meet with, and
who did she bring with her? What did she use your release time for?
P.O.C. knows that
politics is a tough game. We have hired the State’s premier political
strategists
California Strategies
and bargaining expert
Marty Morgenstern
to represent you. They are here to help guide us through the process
and help us have an impact at the capitol. You need
release
time and
dues money to make this
work. If you do not believe how powerful presence can be, we urge any
of you to visit the Capitol with
P.O.C. so you can see it for
yourself. There will be many advantages to
P.O.C.
Unlike CAUSE / CSLEA,
the general membership will elect the president of
P.O.C.
P.O.C. will
publish meeting minutes and votes – prohibited at CAUSE / CSLEA. All
affiliate board members will know what the State is offering at the
bargaining table – also prohibited at CAUSE / CSLEA.
P.O.C. guarantees
each affiliate their fair share of
release time and
dues money
– while CAUSE / CSLEA has over 1,000 employees in
“trusteeship” (= expelled).
Your pay, benefits,
and working conditions are determined through the
collective bargaining process, which hinges first on an
agreement with the Governor and
then approval by a super-majority vote of each house of the
legislature. Whom do you think the Governor or the Legislature is more
likely to give a pay increase in tough times –
P.O.C. or
CAUSE / CSLEA?
The problem is CAUSE
/ CSLEA has not thought of it, cannot follow through with it, and is not
politically savvy enough to carry it out. You can be part of the change
to help State Peace
Officers gain
pay-parity:
