I went to work 3 days in a row sick as a dog. Why? because from January 2011 to January 2012 I have 9 sick calls I don't want to get written up. The PICO's are being shut out.

TV's usually come from inmate funds like the extra they pay for canteen.

Hey come on now, let's not be unreasonable.......

2012-01-29T20:25:23.429-08:00

Hey come on now, let's not be unreasonable..... high definition television is very rehabilitative, and reduces recidivism. Extreme sarcasm, by the way....

Im gonna take the lay off, At least I will get a fixed amount of unemployment. Plus my family will qualify for food stamps and other free county medical insurance.PIES are only getting called 1-2 times a week. That will not work. Yet they want me to move my hole family to one of the 7 prisons< YET i'm not guaranteed work. Sorry.. I cant take that ride. I guess I will have to wait for re-hire. It has been a pleasure working with some of you guys and gals.

Separate your state service completely and cash out your time balances? I would hold off until I'm forced to do it. If you do and get hired back for some reason, I don't think you'll enjoy the 2.5 @ 55!

AB109 process so far: Wave One
Opp.One = Bid on a fulltime position within the state at different institutions.
Opp.Two = Bid otap or pico at current institution
Opp.Three = Bid statewide for available positions otap and pico.
Now after Opp.3, officers that did nothing or received nothing during the first 3 opps. were given the county options worksheet which consisted of the following: Sierra Conservation Center which is the hiring authority for(Prado). Or bump FT within county (CIM/CIW) or bump pico within county (CIM/CIW) all based on seniority. The results for this option are in the mail, as are the layoff notices. Once this option is done the remaining officers that were bumped and/or were not awarded any spot based on seniority would/will be allowed to bid on PICO spots at the seven mentioned pens. (pbsp/hdsp/cen/cal/kvsp etc. all far!!! The positions at the seven pens were newly added from the union meetings that the chapter presidents attended and they did help get/find the positions to be open. I agree it seems that our $79 a month is going to unknown places.It seems pretty sad when all this is happening our union should be getting all the details and notifying us on the regular and they have not. The CCPOA website doesn't even give "VALUABLE" info. on AB109s impact and their members being impacted. We do have to remember this is the Federal governments decisions that caused the whole situation. We should look into our union with a fine-tooth comb and see whats really going on and see what changes really need to be made in HQ. Our state should have continued the prison building in 2004-2005 like they had planned. We likely would not be in this situation if at the completion of Kern Valley they would have been under construction with two, if not three other pens within the state. Coulda-shoulda-didnt. I know its frustrating and scary not knowing whats gonna happen....i'm living it too. Just keep your heads up and control only what you can control. Be safe.

Only way to save staff is for us to start burning our sick time!! It's an extreme measure that will create shifts for the PICO's thus proving on paper that we need the staff!!

If I'm laid off how soon will they cash me out
Of the time I have on the books and poff money? There is no guaranty that I will be hired back and once or if the opportunity is afforded I would return.

State is full of Sh!T, these numbers are all made up. Yesterday there were no vacancies. Now magically 7 prisons have vacancies. They already sent out last best and finals to some people, now there gonna do another bid. I'm calling BS! As far as I'm concerned the union does not have are backs, there letting the State play games with our lives, and families lives. Thanks CIM CCPOA for selling your votes to MJ.
