RCE Staff Reductions

As many of you know the CIM East yard staff reductions are going to happen. Our CIM local union is currently in Sacramento on a "Meet and Confer" over the east yard reductions. I'm yet to hear of a Supervisor table for the Supervisor reductions.

What we do know is that RCE will delete approximately 66 positions! Staff reductions can never be a good thing. I'm hoping that CIM management took into consideration alarm response as well as escape detail. With the inmate population dropping on East and the plan to go to an SNY yard, the reductions will sure to happen. Just want to remind the powers at be to keep it SAFE!

Also expected for the month of October, is the implementation of the SOMS program. This means that approximately 9 Sergeants will be out of a Control Sergeant Position. I'm hearing the plan will take effect 10-14-11 through 10-18-11.

I did remind you here that there would be big changes coming to CIM months ago. I told you about the CIM Shuffle and folks losing their positions. There will still be a couple of more retirements announced! Stay tuned for more of the "CIM Shuffle"
