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!
POC / Fraud
Investigators
are some the most highly trained Peace Officers in the State. 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.
POC / Fraud
Investigators members need
their fair share of
release time and
dues money
to put boots on the ground at the State Capitol with a mission to inform
– so that you can paid by the State to do union work.
If CAUSE / CSLEA
used their release time appropriately,
there would be more than enough State-paid time for a half-dozen
Investigators to visit the Capitol every week – for a year!
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).
P.O.C.
will be made up
of the same affiliates as before, with a few new affiliates to represent
some of the larger sworn classes that were previously under represented
by CAUSE / CSLEA. As a rule, any employee class with 50 or more filled
positions will be entitled to an affiliate. Non-sworn employees from
the previous affiliate will remain with CAUSE / CSLEA.
Substandard pay makes
staying with any department a difficult proposition. There is no reason
for this. Investigators in POC / Fraud Investigators are
specially funded by assessments, and
P.O.C. will meet with all the
stakeholders in your industry and work out a funding source for law
enforcement employees.
P.O.C. will help you put it together.
Investigator 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?
P.O.C. is going to
help your departments increase fees and penalties to find funding
sources for POC / Fraud Investigators. 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:
