6/1/12 Tentative Argeement (Wave 2)

Camps/Patton State Hospital: for the purposes of both the Statewide Bid as well as layoff, camp employees shall be tied to the following hiring authority institutions (as opposed to the county in which the camps are physically located): CCC, CIW and SCC. Patton State Hospital shall be tied to CRC.


Wave 2 Statewide Bid Process (paragraph 17 for Wave 1):

(1) Same

(2) All staff, including Correctional Officers, Correctional Counselors, Fire Captains and Parole Agents, at overage institutions or in overage counties for DAPO, as determined by CDCR may participate in the Statewide Bid Process to bid on identified Permanent Full-time vacancies and PICO positions within the State.

(2) Where there are overage institutions or overage counties, only the number of people that comprise the overage will be permitted to leave the institution/county. For example, if an institution needs to shed 10 people, the 10 most senior people who are successful in the Statewide Bid will be permitted to leave (even if 50 people put in requests).

(2b) Transitional Academies:

Correctional counselors with Correctional Officer in their background who presently work in an institution do not need to attend a transitional academy.

Fire Captains and Correctional Counselors with Correctional officer in their background who do not presently work in an institution, but who have been a Correctional Officer within the last 36 months, do not need to attend a t transitional academy.

Correctional Counselors with Correctional Officer in their background who do not presently work in an institution and who have not been Correctional Officer in the last 36 months will attend a 2-week transitional academy.

Parole Agents with Correctional Officer in their background will attend a 2-week transitional academy.

Fire Captains with Correctional Officer in their background, but who have not served in the Correctional Officer classification for 36 months, will attend a 2-week transitional academy.

Unit 6 Peace Officer classifications without Correctional Officer in their background will attend a 5 to 8 week transitional academy. The curriculum will be provided to CCPOA once it is finalized. If staff do not pass the Academy, they must be laid off and will be informed of this fact both in their Bid Worksheet and in their SWB award letter.

(2c) Parole Agents will be allowed to participate in the SWB and released to their awarded institution
based upon parolee population and caseload reductions. In some circumstances, Parole Agents will be in effect “reserving” their position at an institution. If there are two agents in the same county and one is to be released first, the most senior Parole Agent shall have the option of reporting to DAI first. As such, the principle of seniority is honored.

(3) Same

(4) Same

(5) CDCR shall calculate the transfer awards and communicate a start date with at least fourteen (14) days’ notice. After receiving a transfer date, and employee may be granted a change in the report date by agreement of the releasing worksite and the receiving worksite.

SORA/LAYOFF PROCESS (paragraph 189)

(1) Those that have not been able to mitigate layoff through the StateWide bid shall proceed with the SROA/layoff process.

(2-8) Same

Paragraph 19: Meet and Confer after Completion of Second Wave: In an effort to foster partnership and communication between the parties, and with an eye toward improving the various opportunities described above, the parties shall meet and confer in good faith regarding these opportunities and processes after the conclusion of the Second Wave.

Paragraph 20: Same, Paragraph 21: N/A

Paragraph 22: Per Diem-2nd & Subsequent Wave

All unit 6 Peace Officer Classification shall receive Per Diem consistent with our Realignment Side Letter Agreement for Wave 2 and Subsequent Waves, which is either $125 for 30 days for PBSP, HDSP and CCC or $85 for 30 days for all other transfers. In each instance, the transfer must be over 50 miles from the employee’s current work location to his/her new work location in order to be eligible for Per Diem.

Staff will be paid ½ of Per Diem prior to transferring to their new location and the other ½ will be paid during their first week of physically working (not using leave credits) at their new institution. If an employee fails to meet these requirements of receiving Per Diem, he or she will be required to return immediately any Per Diem that has been paid. Employees who have suffered unforeseen or extenuation circumstances that preclude them from meeting their reporting requirement may be reviewed jointly by the Assistant Secretary of Laver, or designee, and CCPOA’s Executive Vice President, or designee, upon CCPOA’s request.

Just like in Wave 1, Per Diem will NOT be paid for any final, limited PICO transfer opportunity (previously referred to as 4a in Wave 1), if in fact such a final opportunity if offered.

23-24. Same

OTAPs/PICOs

The wave 2 PICO numbers do not incorporate anticipated attrition between now and when people are laid off on October 20, 2012. As a result, between the SEB and the layoff, people will leave the department and create vacancies. The vacancies created by attrition from now through mid-July will be available for PICOs (and remaining OTAPs) to roll up to PFT. In mid-July, however, we will have to freeze that process in order to identify the number of vacancies available for purposes of layoff options in impacted counties. After that, some vacancies may be available via SROA and/ or a final PICO opportunity if one is offered.

Follow-up Meetings: The parties recognize that this process is fluid and not all circumstances can be anticipated or addressed in this addendum. The parties, therefore, agree to continue to meet on at least a bi-weekly basis during Wave 2 to explore and seek to resolve issues and unforeseen circumstances. It is the intent of the parties that these meetings will have limited number of attendees and will be guided by an agenda prepared and shared in advance

  3. I would think most parole agents who didn't start as CO's dont have alot of time in CDCR, so they're in as bad of a situation as a -8 year CO. But bumping is still going to be bad for alot o

  4. The bumping of co s by parole agents is going to happen we already know that......but it's only going to happen by county which is chicken s..t because co s didn't get that opportunity in the first wave. So a parole agent in Los angles can't bump a co in fresno county.....the big question is what the state going to do with agents who don't have a prison in there county ?? I can't see them laying off an agent with 10 yrs....but who knows.....another stupid thing why are they sending out state wide bid forms before we even know who is being effected , I mean we can guess but the forms have to be in before they send the sroa letters......seems like a plan that is set up for failure for us

  5. Orange County Parole Agents are coming to Chino. Move aside rookies, Parole Agents "all of a sudden" want to be Prison Guards.

  6. Where is Fred? You ask him a question all he ever replies is "I will look into it" or "I don't know."
    Thank Sgt. Lopez for at least putting out some 411.

  7. No, Orange County parole agents will be able to bump anyone in ANY county as they do not have a prison in their County. Which is a bunch of crap! Sucks that the ones that got laid off that had more time than a parole agent that came from County Probation can go through a transitional academy and go to an institution as a CO!

  8. Fred is a big chicken! He hides from officers and sneaks out the back to avoid questions he can't answer. Seen it first hand on West....if you don't know your facts and keep giving people the run around (using big words and trying to make people think you are knowledgeable....WHEN YOU ARE NOT!) you need to remove yourself from that position. I'm just saying.

  9. Who is Fred Stevens? I have only seen the guy in passing and saw the name tape "Stevens" and said to myself... hey there is the union guy.

  10. It's not like there's going to be a "flood" of PAs coming to town... There's approx. 2200 statewide and they're not ALL leaving at once. Remember, some will want to work in an institution and others won't.....so they will move on into probation dept. for counties in their area, is my opinion... and how many Fire Captains are there, really? I know at my institution the CCIs have already started rolling into CO positions and OTAP and PICOs are moving into fulltime...Yes, there will be layoffs... 8 years in??? don't think so... I don't even think that anyone with less than 4 years is going to be laid off... I am trying to reamain positive!!!!.. but NOT stupid!
