I was waiting to respond to this after SEIU released there negotiation, however, as of this writing nothing yet.
Can I be the only person that thinks this is a bunch of crap? I mean how many times has CCPOA members been asked to give for the cause! Not once has the CHP had to make such sacrifices. How's this, why doesn't the CHP give for three years and CDCr staff give just one year. You think maybe because we have thousand more members, and the pot gets bigger if we make such sacrifices.
I'm anxiously awaiting to see what CCPOA EC will do! We better not just lay down, we better get something this time.
Poor ol CHP members, they say there just glad to have a JOB! I can't tell you how many times I've heard this from CDCr managers.
Until now, CAHP members had never been furloughed. Hamm (CEO of Calif. Highway Patrol Assoc.)said union members understand that they need to make a sacrifice, given the state's $15.7 billion budget crisis.
"Our members' reaction has been pretty positive (to the furlough)," Hamm said this afternoon. "I think this is sinking in. They're saying, 'I'm lucky to have a job.'"
What do you all think? Should we take a deal and run? Would you be willing to take a year furlough in exchange for a contract extension?
PROTECTED ACTIVITY The state and the union shall not impose or threaten to impose reprisals on employees, to discriminate or threaten to discriminate against employees, or otherwise to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees because of their exercise of rights guaranteed by the Ralph C. Dills ACT MOU 5.03 section A
I, for one, think we need to get off the coat tails of CAHP. We rode em like a bull from 2001-2006 until the "link" in pay backfired. What we say when the public and media attack us about our pay and benefits is, "Feel free to grab an application to reap the benefits too." This is no different! If CAHP scores bigger and you feel the need.....jump ship.....if you're under 35 (most of are not). We sound like a bunch of cry babies when we say, "But the CHP................"
ReplyDeleteCCPOA members were'nt asked, they were told by the lame duck executive council, that were making backroom deals, that totally F'd their dues paying members.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is hiding in plain sight if people care to open their eye's . The CHP generates revenue. for the State of Califorina . That being said , good luck to everyone else that don't .
ReplyDeleteWe do need to get off the chp and what they get. Its comparing apples to oranges...we are not police officers...there is a reason why our academys differ so much.They have roughly a six month academy and they are highly trained and it is difficult,that is why only the strong survive,as to where our academy is made so that pretty much anyone can get through it and become a C/O. If you ever noticed our academys sometimes had trouble with not enough curriculum. So trying to compare us with them is pointless..not to mention all the C/O's that tend to make headlines doing bonehead shit..ypu want a better more respected product make the requirements more strict,dont cry and wanna grieve everything and hey most people cant call off or they get fired and we complain about 12 sick days not being enough..get real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IM OUT
ReplyDeleteHow about 12 hrs plp for 8 hrs of pay????
ReplyDeleteThe CDCR academy is easy for several reasons.
ReplyDelete(1) No glamour or glory ,you work inside, not with the public or good people of society. No Crown Vic and wearing the sunglasses, looking cool for the pretty girls.
(2) If you do your job and hold Inmates accountable for their actions ,and don't act scared ,one day you will get your teeth kicked in by an Inmate, It's just a matter of time.
My advise too any young person still in school is to stay out of trouble and get good grades and stay in good physical condition so you don't have to be a correctional officer. Be a CHP Officer.
Most C/O's can't pass the written exam or a polygraph for a police dept.
ReplyDeleteShut up already with the CHP... there just a bunch of good liars that passed the polygraph test... theyre no better then a Correctional Officer... Totally different line of work... My mission in life is money that is why I became a CO not because i couldnt pass a polygraph for the CHP... It is people like you that degrade yourself because you feel that you're a failure in life. Maybe you're maybe you are not. It does not matter. I am proud to be a CO a take pride in my work. It allows me to live and provide a good standard of living for myslef and my family and I have made alot of good friends in the dept.
ReplyDelete"My mission in life is money and that is why I became a CO"
ReplyDeleteThat's good stuff???
You have probably moved through the ranks to achieve the highest pay scale possible.
CDCR and the retards that work there... I am a prior C/O for CDCR and now CHP officer.. CDCR is a joke of a department... no standards at all.. all the fat out of shape Cops making 100 plus with no inmate contact. Such a joke of a dept.
ReplyDeleteWow... good looking out Chipper. CDCR has trucks, and CHP has dick heads like you, so were even.
DeleteYa i have a i am a CC2 actually... i make a good living. Thanks for asking guy.
