Wave 2 for SO6

Subject: Wave two SO6




Dear Member,

The following will be included in the CCPOA weekly update coming out on Friday June 22, 2012. However I feel the content is important enough to send out now. Please also encourage your members to visit the CCPOA “Members Only” site at a minimum weekly to view these important updates.

On Tuesday June 19, 2012 CCPOA met with the state regarding wave two of the realignment as it pertains to our SO6/MO6 members. The state has confirmed that the timelines established for the rank and file will be the same timelines for SO6/MO6 as follows:

June 18, 2012 was the deadline for institutions to submit the packets to roll limited term Sergeants and Lieutenants to permanent full time to begin the process. As many as 51 Lieutenants and 84 Sergeants could be rolled under this procedure, although not all of those will be reachable so the numbers will be lower. We have asked for, and have been promised, the actual numbers that are eligible and are being rolled by institution. Hopefully we will have that list shortly, which will affect the upcoming procedures to fill supervisor vacancies.

The statewide voluntary bid window is currently open and ongoing. Those in an overage situation should have received “options letters” to transfer to an underage situation, with per diem attached to the transfer as set forth in the letter. This process became a major issue with DAI Parole in Sacramento and Los Angeles Counties. The state informed us that due to serious problems, brought to their attention by CCPOA, with the way the process was being handled in those two counties (at a minimum) concerning Parole the options letters have been followed by letters rescinding the original option letters. July 6, 2012 has been designated as the date the state will make the awards based on seniority, with July 23, 2012 as the report date to the new institution.

Additionally when the process of rolling limited terms to full time and the voluntary transfer awards have been determined and awarded there will be an additional window (slated for sometime in July at this point) for the remaining supervisor vacancies to be filled utilizing the current promotional lists. The state agreed with us that filling these positions should be permanent full time and not by limited term.

The state informed us that there were actually three DJJ employees that will be affected by this process also. One Captain, one PAIII and a Treatment Team Supervisor. They further stated that all three of those affected have been mitigated. We requested the names of those individuals for follow up to ensure they have been in fact mitigated properly.

As we move forward with this we anticipate problems may arise from time to time. Therefore we have requested and the state has agreed to an ad hoc work group to attempt to mitigate individual issues borne from these procedures.

June 28, 2012 has been earmarked as the date to begin the layoff process.

We strongly encourage all of our members to visit the employers website, http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/layoffresources/Wave-2-PO.html and view the wave two realignment pages to include the frequently asked questions (FAQ).
