Welcome to Peace Officers of California (P.O.C.),
where members of the
California
Expo Police,
Dept. of
Justice Security Officers, and
Security
Officers at the LA Science and History Museum will have
their own seat at the table, with an elected representative to address
your issues. No more catch-all bargaining groups where you are
held in “trusteeship” - CAUSE / CSLEA has over
1,000
employees in “trusteeship”
(= expelled. PSA will have three board members, with at
least one acting as a representative of the group during the bargaining
process.

P.O.C.'s
first commitment is to increase pay for
all Peace Officers, with
pay-parity as our ultimate priority!
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
intended as a remark about the effectiveness of other bargaining units
or unions but rather an indication as to how effective an
all Peace Officer union will be.
PSA members 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.
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 - so you can literally get paid by the State to
inform legislators.
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?
Officers at need to have a presence in the Capitol.
If CAUSE / CSLEA used their
release time and
dues
money appropriately, there would be more than enough
State-paid time for officers to visit the Capitol several times a month,
while the legislature is in session. If you do not believe at 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.
P.O.C. is going to help your
departments increase fees to find funding sources for PSA members.
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.
P.O.C.
has identified many key goals for the new
Peace Officer Only
union, along with identifying some of the most important issues for
officers with PSA, which can be found below. You can be part of
the change to help State Peace Officers gain
pay-parity:
