11. STATEMENT OF FACTS<br />
In accordance with the Ralph C. Dills Act (Dills Act), "after a reasonable period<br />
<strong>of</strong> time" <strong>of</strong> failing to reach agreement, a"party may <strong>request</strong> the [Public Employee Relations<br />
Board (pERB)l board to appãint a mediatãr." (Govt Cóae ç 3518t) ln exercise <strong>of</strong> the rights<br />
conferred by the Dills Act, the State <strong>of</strong> Califomia, Department <strong>of</strong> Personnel Administration on<br />
behalf <strong>of</strong> the Governor (State) submits the following facts and allegations that establish that<br />
further meetings between the State and the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Correctional Peace Officers Association<br />
(CCPOA) *outd be futile in the absence <strong>of</strong> such a <strong>mediator</strong>. As such, the State, consistent with<br />
ih. oiltr Act, <strong>request</strong>s that PERB assign a <strong>mediator</strong> from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation<br />
Service2 to assisf the parties in moving past what both sides have recognized as futile<br />
negotiations. In the alternative, the State <strong>request</strong>s that PERB declare <strong>impasse</strong> based upon the<br />
demonstrated futility <strong>of</strong> negotiations.<br />
As has been well documented and much publicized, the priion system is in a state<br />
<strong>of</strong> crisis. Negotiating a successor contract between the State and CCPOA is there<strong>for</strong>e a matter <strong>of</strong><br />
critical impoñance *d,rtg.nry. <strong>The</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> the State's <strong>for</strong>egoing <strong>request</strong>s is to bring the<br />
parties together in a way that will serve to alleviate rather than contribute to this present crisis.<br />
itr ttrr intérest <strong>of</strong> the safety and well-being <strong>of</strong> the public, the CCPOA, the State and its<br />
employees, the parties must work together in all arenas to resolve this crisis.<br />
After almost a year <strong>of</strong> attempting to negotiate a new contract, negotiations have<br />
concluded unsuccessfully. Allhough the parties might disagree on what to call it, they have<br />
demonstrated that they agree that aãditional bargaining would be a continued exercise in futility.<br />
<strong>The</strong> State is hopeful túatbCpOA will support this <strong>request</strong> to PERB <strong>for</strong> relief from further<br />
futility.<br />
A. Introduction<br />
1. <strong>The</strong> parties have been attempting to negotiate a successor Memorandum <strong>of</strong><br />
Understanding (MOU) <strong>for</strong> nearly ayear. <strong>The</strong>y have attended at least twenty-four (24) main'<br />
table bargaining sessions and the State has presented multiple conceptual and specific language<br />
proposalJ. CCÞO4 has not presented a single substantive proposal, although it has considered<br />
and consistently rejected the State's proposals.<br />
Z. On April 13,2007, CCPOA, through its President Mike Jimenez, declated<br />
<strong>impasse</strong> and terminated bargaining. In an unprecedented move, CCPOA directed the State to<br />
submit its nearly one billion dollar contract proposal directly to union's membership <strong>for</strong><br />
ratification rather than engage in productive negotiations in an attempt to reach an agreement. A<br />
true and correct copy <strong>of</strong> CtÞOa;s April 13, 2007 letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is<br />
incorporated herein by reference.<br />
I Section 35l B reads, in relevant part, "If after a reasonable period <strong>of</strong> time, the Governor and the recognized<br />
employee organization fail to reaàh agreement, the Governor and the recognized employee organization may agree<br />
,rpón ti," appiintment <strong>of</strong> a <strong>mediator</strong> mutually agreeable to the parties , ot either party may <strong>request</strong> the [PERB] board<br />
to appoint a <strong>mediator</strong>." [emphasis added]<br />
, <strong>The</strong> State <strong>request</strong>s a Federal <strong>mediator</strong> in light <strong>of</strong> the import <strong>of</strong> this contract negotiation, the current prison crisis,<br />
ongoing pedeål court monitoring, and the ñeed to have guidance and assistance from an individual unaffiliated and<br />
disconnected fiom the actual parties to the contract at issue.
3. It is apparent from CCPOA's approach to the bargaining <strong>of</strong> this successor<br />
MOU (detailed below) and its April 13, 2007 letter that further meetings between the parties<br />
would be futile. ln fact, in this letter, CCPOA has admitted and asserted that the "entire<br />
[bargaining] process" has "chilled." Moreover, CCPOA concsdes that "it seems that each time<br />
[the parties] get together, fthe parties] grow further apart." (Exhibit 1)<br />
4. CCPOA's unsatisfactory solution to the present <strong>impasse</strong> was to "eliminate<br />
any fuither unhealthy interactions" by "permit[ing] [the State] to send out [its] proposal <strong>for</strong> a<br />
vote to the membership." CCPOA's statements alone indicate that further meetings are a futile<br />
exercise. CCPOA has washed its hands <strong>of</strong> this bargaining process and has chosen not to<br />
negotiate a successor MOU with the State. More specifically, CCPOA has unilaterally declared<br />
that bargaining is over and demanded that the State, if it desires a contract, to present it to the<br />
members outside <strong>of</strong> the bargaining context. (Exhibit 1)<br />
5. <strong>The</strong> parties are undeniably at an <strong>impasse</strong> and require the immediate<br />
assistance <strong>of</strong> PERB. At a minimum, the parties, in light <strong>of</strong> the complete and utter breakdown <strong>of</strong><br />
negotiations, require assistance <strong>of</strong> a <strong>mediator</strong> as contemplated by the Dills Act.<br />
B. <strong>The</strong> Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding Between <strong>The</strong> Parties<br />
6. Consistent with the Dills Act, the parties entered into an MOU with a term<br />
<strong>of</strong> July 1, 2001 through JuIy 2,2006. Pursuanto the Dills Act, the parties have continued to<br />
give effect to the provisions <strong>of</strong> the now expired MOU while meeting and conferring to reach a<br />
successor MOU.<br />
C. History <strong>of</strong> Proposals and Counterproposals<br />
State's Offers and Enhancements<br />
. July 30,2006 <strong>The</strong> State presented an initial Z-year package <strong>of</strong>fer, which<br />
included specific contract language proposals, the majority <strong>of</strong><br />
which were non-substantive modifications.<br />
. Augu st 14,2006 <strong>The</strong> State provided additional proposed contract language that<br />
supplemented the July 30'2006package <strong>of</strong>fer. CCPOA was<br />
<strong>of</strong>fered increases in base pay that maintained a tie to the<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Association <strong>of</strong> Highway Patrolmen (CAHP) and health<br />
benefits. <strong>The</strong> State provided the specific language <strong>of</strong> its entire<br />
agreementlmanagement rights and grievance and arbitration<br />
proposals.<br />
. September 13,2006 <strong>The</strong> State provided additional economic proposals in response to<br />
discussions with CCPOA about high vacancy rates and<br />
recruitment ef<strong>for</strong>ts. To that end, the State <strong>of</strong>fered to double the<br />
current recruitment and retention amounts and to implement a<br />
$500 bonus <strong>for</strong> those employees who recruit new correctional<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficers.
October 18,2006<br />
March 22,2007<br />
To address some <strong>of</strong> CCPOA's comments, the State modified two<br />
proposals: release time bank and post and bid.<br />
ln response to CCPOA's repeated <strong>request</strong>s <strong>for</strong> conceptual<br />
proposals (as opposed to the actual contract language the State<br />
had provided), the Director <strong>of</strong> DPA, Dave Gilb, presented Chuck<br />
Alexander, CCPOA Vice President, a conceptual 3-year <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
without corresponding contract language proposals. <strong>The</strong> State<br />
verbally expressed that a -yeat option was also available'<br />
<strong>The</strong> 3-year conceptual <strong>of</strong>fer increased the term <strong>of</strong> the agreement<br />
and contemplated an additional year <strong>of</strong> pay increases. Moreover,<br />
the State quadrupled the value <strong>of</strong> its new recruit proposal from<br />
$500 to $2000. In addition, the State presented three new<br />
economic <strong>of</strong>fers. <strong>The</strong> total value to CCPOA significantly<br />
increased from the State's 2-yeat July 30, 2006 <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> conceptual <strong>of</strong>fer also contemplated the same management<br />
re<strong>for</strong>ms as previously and repeatedly articulated by the State.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se re<strong>for</strong>ms enable CDCR the flexibility it needs to effectively,<br />
efficiently, and safely operate the State's prisons.<br />
It must also be noted that the State made considerable concessions<br />
to its original management rights/entire agreement proposal and<br />
specifically withdrew the portion that permitted CDCR to bargain<br />
only matters <strong>of</strong> State-wide impact'<br />
March 29,2007<br />
April6 and11,2007<br />
With literally a day's notice, CCPOA <strong>request</strong>ed to resume main<br />
table bargaining. <strong>The</strong> Director <strong>of</strong> DPA attended bargaining <strong>for</strong><br />
the first time in order to convey the seriousness <strong>of</strong> the State's<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer and to explain the modifications and enhancements to the 3-<br />
year conceptual <strong>of</strong>fer. <strong>The</strong> CCPOA President's obstructionist<br />
behavior prevented the Director <strong>of</strong> DPA from actually articulating<br />
the parameters <strong>of</strong> the 3-year <strong>of</strong>fer and precluded him from even<br />
addressing the 4-year oPtion.<br />
Finally, the State completed its closing conceptual <strong>of</strong>fer by<br />
presenting CCPOA the 4-yeat option, thereby.increasing the<br />
value <strong>of</strong> the State's <strong>of</strong>fer to almost one billion dollars.
CCPOA' s Counter-Proposals and Contributions to Bargaining<br />
. October 12,2006<br />
. October 18.2006<br />
At bargaining, CCPOA, through its President, made its first<br />
.,counterproposal,'by merely suggesting that current release time<br />
bank contract language be rolled over.<br />
During bargaining, CCPOA, through its President, made a second<br />
"counterproposal" which, agaín, consisted merely <strong>of</strong> rolling over<br />
the post and bid language <strong>of</strong> the MOU'<br />
At this same session, CCPOA's President soundly rejected the<br />
State,s revised release time bank proposal by ripping it into pieces<br />
and tossing it on the negotiation table, thereby reviving his initial<br />
"counterproposal" that the current release time bank language<br />
continue.<br />
. March29,2007<br />
Apn|2,2007<br />
April 13 &.20,2007<br />
At the parties' f,rnal bargaining session, CCPOA rejected the<br />
State's 3-year conceptual <strong>of</strong>fer and indicated that the State was<br />
wasting its time.<br />
ln a letter, CCPOA's President confirmed that the State was<br />
wasting its time and suggested that this letter (which consisted <strong>of</strong><br />
nothing more than complaints and continued accusations against<br />
the State) be considered a counter proposal.<br />
By letters, CCPOA terminated bargaining, conceded <strong>impasse</strong>, and<br />
directed the State to take its proposal to the membership <strong>for</strong><br />
ratification.<br />
D. Evidence in Support <strong>of</strong> ImPasse<br />
7, Sunshine Activities. On or about April 13, 2006, the State "sunshined"<br />
four pages <strong>of</strong> good faith proposals in anticipation <strong>of</strong> the expiration <strong>of</strong> the MOU and the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> bargaining. Fròm the outset, CCPOA demonstrated the futility <strong>of</strong> attempting to<br />
balgainu n"* contract. For instance, CCPOA did not sunshine its initial meet and confer<br />
proposals until on or about July 3, 2006, one day after the MOU expired. Furthermore, and in<br />
itark contrast to the good faith proposals advanced by the State, CCPOA sunshined 38 pages <strong>of</strong><br />
what was later charaóþrizedas "shit" by CCPOA's President during a July 18, 2006 bargaining<br />
session. In other words, CCPOA did not sunshine meaningful proposals. Instead, CCPOA<br />
viewed its sunshine as an opportunity to accuse the Administration, the Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and DPA <strong>of</strong> perpetrating lies and deceit, which has been<br />
a constant refrain <strong>of</strong> CCPOA's throughout this tortured bargaining process'<br />
8. Video "Ambush." Formal negotiations started <strong>of</strong>f poorly, on or about<br />
June 9, 2006,when CCPOA, in another unprecedented move, ambushed the State negotiating<br />
team (who had agreed to negotiate at CCPOA's o\iln headquarters) with video cameras rolling to<br />
tape the negotiations.
g. Inabilit)¡ to Agree on Ground Rules. <strong>The</strong> parties, <strong>for</strong> the entire nine<br />
months <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>mal bargaining, have been unsuccessful in coming to an agreement on what should<br />
be one least contentious aspect <strong>of</strong> bargaining - ground rules.<br />
10. <strong>The</strong> State's Opening Package Offer. On or about July 30, 2006, the State<br />
passed apackage<strong>of</strong>fer with supporting proposed contract language <strong>for</strong> a new MOU. Over time,<br />
âs demonstrated in section C above, the State has supplemented, modiflred and enhanced its<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers.<br />
11. CCPOA's Response to the State's Opening Offer. From the very<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> this bargaining process, CCPOA has colorfully communicated its response to the<br />
Stãte's <strong>of</strong>fers and has exhibited an utter disregard <strong>for</strong> the State. On or about July 31, 2006, while<br />
in bargaining, CCPOA's President launched into a pr<strong>of</strong>ane tirade that effectively rejected the<br />
State's <strong>of</strong>fer:<br />
Let me make it real clear. We've got20 days to get this done and<br />
you gave me this bullshit yesterday, which ain't consistent with<br />
any fucking thing I have been told as <strong>of</strong> this point in time ' ' ' '<br />
l4:12-l6l<br />
*{< *<br />
I am sick <strong>of</strong> being lied to . . . Somebody's going to get their<br />
fucking shit together or we're going to call this to a screeching halt<br />
today. I'm wasting fucking money sitting here doing these<br />
negotiations . . . and all you want to do is play games. 14:20-251<br />
* {.1,1.<br />
You told me you had six fucking issues. I've got 150 pages here <strong>for</strong> six<br />
fucking issues' Fucking garbage in there, nothing but' [5:1-3]<br />
{.**<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's bullshit in here. Now, I'd like to meet the asshole who put<br />
that together. [5:8-9]<br />
**x<br />
Okay, I'm not playing anymore. Go tell your boss, fuck him' You<br />
can tell the Governor, fuck him. You can tell fthe Secretary] the<br />
same goddamn thing. 16:17-201<br />
A tr.ue and correct copy <strong>of</strong> the transcript <strong>of</strong> the proceedings on July 3t,2006 is attached as<br />
Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.
lZ. Irrelevant and Obstructionist In<strong>for</strong>mation Requèsts. Another<br />
demonstration <strong>of</strong> the tttitity <strong>of</strong> bargaining with CCPOA is the abuse <strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>s.<br />
CCpOA has protracted meáningfufnegotiation by asking, either at the table or as "in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
<strong>request</strong>s," reãundant and <strong>of</strong>ten irrelevant questions about the State's proposals' Despite the fact<br />
thát the in<strong>for</strong>mation and documentation <strong>request</strong>ed had little, if anything, to do with the State's<br />
proposals, the State nonetheless responded by providing a voluminous amount <strong>of</strong> documentation<br />
and in<strong>for</strong>mation. CCpOA has simply used the in<strong>for</strong>mation provided as the basis <strong>for</strong> asking even<br />
more irrelevant questions and further detaying fruitful negotiations.<br />
13. Continued Obstructionist In<strong>for</strong>mation Requests. CCPOA has even gone<br />
so far as to ask fo, in<strong>for</strong>r*tion .àgarding the State's deliberative process knowing that such<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation is legally exempt nom ¿isctosure.(See Govt Code $ 6254Gr)') Moreover, CCPOA<br />
has indicated in writing thaf such legally impermissible questions "will continue." A true and<br />
correct copy <strong>of</strong> CCpoÁ's November 13, 2006letter is attached as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated<br />
herein by reference.<br />
14. CCPOA's Refusal to Bargain. At the commencement <strong>of</strong> the November<br />
14,2006 bargaining session, CCPOA citing dissatisfaction with the State's responses to<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation r"qu.rír, refused to negotiate fufher. Although the State <strong>of</strong>fered to discuss other<br />
substantive proposals in an ef<strong>for</strong>t to maintain negotiations, CCPOA confirmed on multiple<br />
occasions that they were in fact refusing to bargain. ln attempt to resume negotiations, the State,<br />
in a subsequent leiter on Novemb er 30,2006, asked CCPOA to reconsider its position. CCPOA<br />
failed responded to the State's <strong>request</strong>.<br />
15.<br />
thereafter, CCpOA utt.*pt"O to Aiuert attention away from its refusal to bargain by demanding<br />
to alter the parties practicè <strong>of</strong> meeting at neutral site and splitting the cost. Specifically, CCPOA<br />
sought to change the location <strong>of</strong> negoliations and demanded that the State bear the entire cost <strong>of</strong><br />
any neutral site.<br />
16. Nearly Four Month Delay in Bareaining. As a result <strong>of</strong> lhe<br />
<strong>for</strong>egoing, the<br />
parties did not meet to negotiate after Novembet 14,2006 until March 29,2007 '<br />
1'l<br />
". <strong>The</strong><br />
parties however, u*uy frorn the main table, dedicated a portion <strong>of</strong> December 2006 and January<br />
2007 to discuss the iápact, meaning, and implementation <strong>of</strong> a recent salary arbitration decision.<br />
In stark contrast to CCþOA', uppt*"h to mãin table negotiations, CCPOA has been readily<br />
available and engaged in meaningful discussion at numerous meetings conducted to implement<br />
the arbitration award.<br />
18. CCPOA's Insistence on Conceptual Proposals Only. After the State's<br />
initial detailed propo.u¡ und throughout the ensuing negotiations, CCPOA complained bitterly<br />
about the State's voluminous propõsed contract language and <strong>request</strong>ed that the parties discuss<br />
..concepts,,<br />
rather than specifiõ lur,guug.. In accordance with ccPoA's <strong>request</strong>, onMatch22,<br />
20}6,the State presenteã its next package <strong>of</strong>fer as a "conceptual" proposal; all previous<br />
proposals incluåing detailed contract language were withdrawn. As detailed below, after<br />
i"tèi,rittg the conceptual proposals asked <strong>for</strong>, CCPOA terminated bargaining'
19. <strong>The</strong> State's Enhanced Conceptual Package Offer. During a meeting on<br />
March 22,2007,between Dave Gilb, Director <strong>of</strong> the DPA, and CCPOA Vice President Chuck<br />
Alexander, Mr. Gilb presented CCPOA with the State's conceptual <strong>of</strong>fer, which included<br />
significant pay raises o ver a3-year period <strong>for</strong> Unit 6 employees. Mr. Gilb reiterated that in<br />
addition to other modifications, there would be major revisions to the grievance and arbitration<br />
procedure as well as the entire agreement clause. Based upon CCPOA's assertions, the State left<br />
ihis meeting with the belief that CCPOA was interested in further <strong>for</strong>mal discussions and was<br />
.rr.ourug.d that an agreement could be reached in the near future. A true and correct copy <strong>of</strong> the<br />
March iZ, ZO0l proposal is attached as Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference.<br />
20. State's Closing Offer- A Waste <strong>of</strong> Time. On March 29,2007, the State, at<br />
CCÞOA's <strong>request</strong>, reconvened main table bargaining so that the State could present the March<br />
22,2007 revised package <strong>of</strong>fer and to indicate, at this late date in bargaining, the parameters <strong>of</strong> a<br />
successor MOU from the State's perspective. <strong>The</strong> State presented a serious <strong>of</strong>fer and was misled<br />
into believing that future bargaining sessions would result in negotiated contract language<br />
consistent with the State's conceptual proposal. As Mr. Gilb attempted to explain the concepts<br />
<strong>of</strong> the package, CCPOA's President (who DPA had been in<strong>for</strong>med would notbe present)<br />
repeatådly intemrpted and told the Director <strong>of</strong> DPA that he was "wasting [his] time." Unable to<br />
complete his presãnhtion (despite numerous <strong>request</strong>s to do so) and after having been in<strong>for</strong>med<br />
-CCPOA<br />
that viewed the exercise as a waste <strong>of</strong> time, Mr. Gilb was <strong>for</strong>ced to leave the proposal<br />
on the tabie <strong>for</strong> CCPOA and unable to share ihe -year option. Negotiations stalled once again.<br />
21. CC On<br />
April 2, 2007,CCPOA's President wrote that "[a]s long as DPA chooses to engage in the<br />
obvious gamesmanship the current <strong>of</strong>fer exudes, we can do nothing but sit back and watch as<br />
valuableiime slips away." Inexplicably, CCPOA concluded the letter by stating, "[i]f it helps,<br />
please consider ihis [letier] a counterproposal." A true and correct copy <strong>of</strong> CCPOA's ApnlZ,<br />
2007 letter is attached as Exhibit 5 and incorporated herein by reference.<br />
ZZ. <strong>The</strong> State lnvites CCPOA to Bargain. Despite the hostile tone <strong>of</strong><br />
CCPOA's letter, ttre Søte¡n ttòpes <strong>of</strong> bridging the seemingly cavemous gap between the parties,<br />
wrote back the following day to set up a mutually agreeable time and place <strong>for</strong> the next meetings.<br />
CCPOA failed to respond.<br />
23. Amended Conceptual Offer Includes 4-year Option. On April 6, 2007,<br />
having heard nothing from CCPOA, the State clarified its package by <strong>for</strong>mally proposing the 4-<br />
y"u, Jption which iniluded other arenas in which to seek increased compensation. A true and<br />
to*"ri copy <strong>of</strong> the State's April 6, 2007 package <strong>of</strong>fer is attached as Exhibit 6 and incorporated<br />
herein by reference.<br />
24. CCPOA's Response: More In<strong>for</strong>mation Requests. In response, on April<br />
6,2007,CCPOA r.ttt y.t *other "in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>" consisting <strong>of</strong> four addifional pages <strong>of</strong><br />
questions, many <strong>of</strong> which have already been addressed. CCPOA specifically conditioned its<br />
tèt r- to main table bargaining on receipt <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>ed. Moreover,<br />
CCPOA's President uguitt d"-onstrated CCPOA's hostility towards the State and the futility <strong>of</strong><br />
fuither bargaining by áccusing the State <strong>of</strong> dishonesty and alleging that the State is "feigning"<br />
concern øi its emplôyees. A1rue and correct copy <strong>of</strong> CCPoA's April 6, 2007 letter is attached<br />
as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference.
ZS. CCpOA's Clear Rejection. Throughout negotiations, CCPOA alleged that<br />
it requires voluminour *¿ irr.t"vant in<strong>for</strong>mation/documentation in order <strong>for</strong> it to understand the<br />
State's packages and proposals. CCPOA argues it has been precluded from making any<br />
affirmative or countei proposals because CCfOe.¡ust does not understand what the State is<br />
proposing. <strong>The</strong> State'å few proposals are not complicated or difficult to understand. It is not<br />
that CCpOA does not understand what the State seeks; it simply disagtees with what the State<br />
has been proposing <strong>for</strong> almost an entire year. Moreover, ccPoA has made its rejection <strong>of</strong> the<br />
State's proposal clear in both word and deed.<br />
26. <strong>The</strong> State's Invitation to Barqain. Despite CCPOA's obvious desire not to<br />
bargain with the Stat", th" State followed up telephonically on at least two occasions regarding<br />
its õutstanding <strong>request</strong> to return to the table. CCPOA did not respond.<br />
27 . <strong>The</strong> State's Request <strong>for</strong> Productive Negotiations. On April 1I,2007,the<br />
StaterespondedtoCCP@ndenceandvoiceditsconcernsregardingthe<br />
motivation behind the most recent round <strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>s. <strong>The</strong> State reiterated its interest<br />
in, and commitment to, negotiating a successor MOU, but shared its grave concern that<br />
continuing to bargain with-an un*ittit g participant wo1!d be futile. <strong>The</strong> State concluded by<br />
stating, ..[t]he State remains hopeful tnJCCpOA will display a more pr<strong>of</strong>essional attitude that<br />
contributes to a productive rather than a futile contract negotiation." A true and correct copy <strong>of</strong><br />
the State, s Aprii 1J , zaal letter is attached as Exhibit 8 and incorporated herein by reference'<br />
Zg. CCpOA Terminates Bargainine. In response to the S.tate's <strong>request</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
productive, not futile, *tttt".t<br />
CCpOA, on April 13, 2007,unilaterally terminated<br />
""g"tt"tions,<br />
targaining completeþ, extricateitheir negotiating team from the bargaining process' and<br />
directed the State to pásent its April 6,2007 -yeat proposal directly to the membership <strong>for</strong> a<br />
vote. CCpOA has súggested an untenable procãss whereby the State is <strong>for</strong>ced to present its<br />
proposal to CCpoA's-Executive Council ut d to work within the confines <strong>of</strong> CCPoA's Bylaws<br />
ànd Standard operating procedures in what can only be characterized as a vain attempt to secure<br />
a successor MOU directly with the membership. A true and correct copy <strong>of</strong> ccPoA's April 13,<br />
2007 letter is attached as Exhibit I, supra'<br />
29. utual A week after<br />
terminatingbu,gui,,i',g@elreiteratedtheCCPoAPresident'sdirectionto ,1<br />
,-, - C--L<br />
the State that it,.rhouiá mke its case to [the] membership." In addition and <strong>for</strong> the very first<br />
time, CCPOA alleged that they have "mult¡I. ptopotals that [they] have not yet passed' ' '"<br />
Nonetheless, CCPOA concludes "[u]n<strong>for</strong>tunately, thus far, we have no confidence that an<br />
agreement can be reached with the State's present proposal as the framework <strong>for</strong> negotiations"<br />
and reserved their right to put their atleged propotilt ón the table. <strong>The</strong> State's shares CCPOA's<br />
lack <strong>of</strong> confidence r"itrr r"rp."t to the uuility oith. parties to reach an agreement' A true and<br />
correct copy <strong>of</strong> CCpOA's Àpril 20, 2007 letter is attached as Exhibit 9 and incorporated herein<br />
by reference.<br />
30. Barsainine is Futile. From the date <strong>of</strong> its sunshine through CCPOA's<br />
final letter <strong>of</strong> Apnl z0Ñ, Ccpo|has constantly accused the state <strong>of</strong> dishonesty and has<br />
emphasized th; CCPOA has no trust whatsoever in the Administration, CDCR or DPA' <strong>The</strong>se<br />
futile negotiations were the inevitable result <strong>of</strong> cCPoA's unwillingness and inability to bargain<br />
a successor MOU with the State.
E. Conclusion<br />
31. <strong>The</strong> facts set <strong>for</strong>th above amply demonstrate that the parties have been<br />
engaging in futile negotiations and are at <strong>impasse</strong>. At a minimum, the parties are in immediate<br />
need <strong>of</strong> a <strong>mediator</strong>. ñresently, the parties *ã no closer to an agreementhan they were when<br />
-fo,<br />
they started the negotiatiorr, this important MOU in June 2006. In fact, they are further apart<br />
- as acknowledged by both parties. See Exhibit I andT '<br />
32. <strong>The</strong> State has presented multiple proposals both in the <strong>for</strong>m <strong>of</strong> concepts<br />
and specif,rc contract language. Moieover, the State, on numerous <strong>of</strong> occasions, has enhanced<br />
and modified its proporutr *ittt a specific eye toward narrowing the gap <strong>of</strong> disagreement<br />
between the partíes. CCPOA, on tñe other irand, has chosen not to provide new proposals and<br />
has only countered that current language be retained. ln reality, CCPOA has explicitly or<br />
impliciily rejected each <strong>of</strong> the State's package <strong>of</strong>fers. As such, the parties have considered each<br />
other,s piopôsals and counter proporulr. Nõnetheless, the parties have reached a point in their<br />
negotiaiions where continued discussion would be futile'<br />
33. As noted above, the present prison crisis demands immediate attention<br />
from the State, the CCPOA and PERB. Ráaching agreement on a successor MOU is <strong>of</strong><br />
paramount importance. <strong>The</strong> State and CCPOA must work collaboratively and must have their<br />
important relationship govemed by an equitable and effective MOU. <strong>The</strong>y need assistance in<br />
making such a relationship and MOU realities'<br />
34. <strong>The</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e, the State prays that PERB exercise its authority to appoint a<br />
Federal <strong>mediator</strong> pursuant to Government Code $ 3518 immediately to assist the parties in<br />
reaching a successor MoU. To send the parties back to the bargaining table without such relief,<br />
in this time <strong>of</strong> crisis, only guarantees that no successor MOU will be reached. In the altemative,<br />
the State, based upon the continued futility <strong>of</strong> negotiations, <strong>request</strong>s that PERB declare <strong>impasse</strong>'<br />

Dennis R. Batchelder<br />
<strong>The</strong> Batchelder Group<br />
4354 Town Center Blvd., Suite I 14-12<br />
El Dorado Hills, CA95762<br />
RE: Recent Negotiation sessions and Related correspondence<br />
Dear Mr. Batchelder:<br />
Your letter <strong>of</strong> November I has been shared with the CCpoA negotiating team. your<br />
view that our recent correspondence relating to daily negotiatioãs "misîþtes', and/or<br />
"mischaracterizes" the events at the table oi that oui accounts are nothing more than<br />
position pieces is more snobbish than it is accurate or interesting. To declarJ such views<br />
and at the same time attempto gain the high_er moral ground by refusing to <strong>of</strong>fer, as you<br />
put it, correction or response is indicative <strong>of</strong> the u"ry kind <strong>of</strong> tehavior"thatlegets your<br />
laments.<br />
Dennis, when we meet, you rarely have much more to <strong>of</strong>fer than the following clichés:<br />
"It is what it is,"'_t-,?yr what it says," "the language speaks <strong>for</strong> itself,,, ..management<br />
needs more flexibility" and "what we are hearing is ihat you don't like it, so <strong>of</strong>fer us a<br />
counter'" If you choose to négotiate in a uu"uuir, you ,än be assured tfrat ttre process<br />
will suck.<br />
You <strong>of</strong>fer us "presenters" like Mr. Warner and Ms. Kalvelage supposedly to impress<br />
upon our team the "need" to gut long standing basic provisioñs <strong>of</strong> oìr v.ó.u. such<br />
Parole<br />
as<br />
Agent caseload, Post and BidI the Appiication and Duration clause (Afücle 27)<br />
and then when we ge-t a bit,probative you shut down discussion with statements like the<br />
one contained the Nov.8ú letter: "...CCPOA does not have an unfettered right to<br />
in<strong>for</strong>rnation." You open a door, invite us in, then give us the boot when we avail<br />
ourselves <strong>of</strong> the accommodations, and still you expect-us to be gracious guests. If<br />
your<br />
it,s<br />
party - Cry if you want to.<br />
Our questions about your deliberative process are perfectly appropriate and will continue.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the propo_sals you have presented orrer ayná*ir rt unge and in our view<br />
represent an M.O'U. that is completely unen<strong>for</strong>ceable with little worth en<strong>for</strong>cement.<br />
Your'þresenters" (once termed "experts" Iater re-titled afler their visits) .""1d;;il;;;<br />
us even a hint, let alone a compelling cause as to why we oughto consiáer such a gutting<br />
<strong>of</strong>our conhact.
It was you who <strong>of</strong>fered "collaborative" negotiations. Dictionaries are available free online,<br />
you might check the defrnition <strong>of</strong> the word during one <strong>of</strong> your late night browsing<br />
sessions. We weren't privy to any <strong>of</strong> the more than 4-inch thick stack <strong>of</strong> proposals you<br />
passed as an "entire package". Apparently your idea <strong>of</strong> collaboration allows you to write<br />
the terms and expect us to write the check. 'We have a somewhat different view.<br />
You speak in your letter about our "disservice,... to fail to acknowledge when the State<br />
and CCPOA are working together ..." in reference to collaborative ef<strong>for</strong>ts away from this<br />
table as if that somehow relates to your conduct in this <strong>for</strong>um. You claim your proposals<br />
are representative <strong>of</strong> what the Department's managers need. You cannot or will not<br />
explain why or show a compelling reason, and that leaves us no choice but to probe the<br />
deliberative process (a door you opened by <strong>of</strong>fering "experts" and "collaboration").<br />
We reduce the day's events to writing because your side has belabored the issue <strong>of</strong><br />
"transparency" fôr more than 3 years. When we tried video recording, you walked out.<br />
We <strong>of</strong>fered audio recording; you refused. We <strong>of</strong>fered to allow media representatives in<br />
on the process and you refused. We allowed you to experiment with court reporting and<br />
found surreptitious tape-recording was taking place. 'We graciously allowed you to feign<br />
a lack <strong>of</strong> knowledge, but your accusatory tone the day be<strong>for</strong>e when you repeatedly asked<br />
if we were recording, and the microphone we found the next day hidden under the<br />
tablecloth belie suspicious behavior on your part. Twice now, you have accused us in<br />
writing <strong>of</strong> "misstating" and 'imischaractenzing," but you refuse to allow video recording.<br />
Your client claims to want fair, progressive and transparent negotiations, but your actions<br />
sorely test our willing suspension <strong>of</strong> disbelief.<br />
You have repeatedly denied a need <strong>for</strong> ground rules as you task the State's rather<br />
expensive attorney with the menial chore <strong>of</strong> being the scorekeeoer <strong>for</strong> minor breaches <strong>of</strong><br />
table manners. You should learn to hide your hypocrisy with greater care. Call us on<br />
creating "position pieces" and then take cheap shots at decorum as if yours is beyond<br />
reproach. You have hallway conversations that tradition has always held are <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
record discussions and then conspiratorially scamper back to your breakout room to jot<br />
down notes fbr the record. <strong>The</strong>n you write us a letter whimpering about our lack <strong>of</strong> trust<br />
and respect <strong>for</strong> you and the people you service<br />
Perhaps you do not understand the nature <strong>of</strong> the business <strong>for</strong> which our members are<br />
engaged. 'We are Correctional Peace Offîcers. We representhe largest Peace Officer<br />
organization in the State <strong>of</strong> Cali<strong>for</strong>nia, but more importantly we work with the worst<br />
people our society has to <strong>of</strong>fer, well over 300,000 <strong>of</strong> them, and we are but a tènth their<br />
number. Vy'e are understaffed, overcrowded (in the case <strong>of</strong> Paroles, overloaded), undertrained,<br />
poorly equipped, and compensated at a lesser rate than <strong>of</strong> the other large State,<br />
County or Cify Peace Officer Agencies.<br />
Our members are assaulted on average nine times a dqy. We are beaten, stabbed, and<br />
have urine, feces, blood, sperln or the entire cocktail thrown in our faces by people the<br />
highest ranking managers <strong>of</strong> this Agency embrace as "customers" and "clients." We then<br />
are subjected to a harsh and biased review <strong>of</strong> our conduct immediately following the<br />
insult <strong>of</strong> your client's nasty client. We work in gang infested, disease ridden, roacli and<br />
rodent populated, dilapidated prisons. Parole Agents carry caseloads too heavy to allow<br />
any real supervision, <strong>of</strong>ten alone in some <strong>of</strong> the most dangerous ghettos in the State. We<br />
suffer the highest divorce rate in the nation, which only breeds pmotional and financial<br />

Revised Package Offer<br />
March 22,2007<br />
Over the last several months, the State <strong>of</strong> Cali<strong>for</strong>nia and CCPOA have participated in <strong>for</strong>mal negotiations<br />
to reach agreement on a successor Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding (MOU), arbitrated íssues related to<br />
salary and benefits, collaborated regarding implementation <strong>of</strong> the arbitrator's award and attempted<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mally to improve Labor Management relations.<br />
ln light <strong>of</strong> the <strong>for</strong>egoing, the State hereby withdraws its previous package <strong>of</strong>fer and all related proposals<br />
in their entirety. Consistent with the Ralph C. Dills Act, in the spirit <strong>of</strong> good faith and with an eye toward<br />
improved Labor Management relations, the State proposes the following revised package <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
ÏERM OF MOU<br />
¡ Effective upon ratification <strong>of</strong> the parties and expiration on June 30, 2010.<br />
SALARY-<br />
2006t2007<br />
' .<br />
'<br />
No fudher salary increases beyond what was already provided by the January 18,2007<br />
arbitration decision.<br />
2007t2008<br />
<strong>The</strong> State proposes the continuation <strong>of</strong> a total compensation <strong>for</strong>mula.. <strong>The</strong> negotiated language and<br />
details <strong>of</strong> the <strong>for</strong>mula, however, must be transparent to ensure that the State and the Legislature<br />
have a clear understanding <strong>of</strong> future fiscal impact associated with a successor MOU.<br />
. Effective July 1, 2007, all Unit 6 employees shall receive a general salary increase based on the<br />
<strong>for</strong>mula.<br />
2008/2009<br />
. Effective July 1,2Q08, all Unit 6 employeeshall receive a general salary increase based on the<br />
<strong>for</strong>mula.<br />
2009-2010<br />
o Effective July 1, 2009, all Unit 6 employeeshall receive a general salary increase based on the<br />
<strong>for</strong>mula.<br />
)<br />
Effective August 1, 2009, the <strong>for</strong>mula expires.
COMPENSATION ITEMS IN DISPUTE<br />
CCPOA presently is seeking to arbitrate additional compensation issues. Specifically, CCPOA seeks a<br />
<strong>determination</strong> that the salary <strong>for</strong>mula requires the State to pay CCPOA the same as the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
Jighway Patrol (CHP), Unit 5, with respect to pre and post shift activities, shift diflerential, uni<strong>for</strong>m<br />
allowance, health benefits, and recruit bonus.<br />
At this point, the fiscal impact <strong>of</strong> an arbitration decision on these matters is uncertain. To avoid such<br />
fiscal uncertainty and in an ef<strong>for</strong>to secure a successor MOU, the State is prepared to address all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
disputed items in the successor MOU as detailed below rather than through arbitration. As such, the<br />
economic proposals contained herein contemplate CCPOA's withdrawal <strong>of</strong> arbitration, DPA No. 06-06-<br />
0399/CCPOA No. 19101, and upon reaching agreement on all other terms identified in this Revised<br />
Package Offer. ln the absence <strong>of</strong> such a withdrawal, the State will be <strong>for</strong>ced to reevaluate the<br />
economics <strong>of</strong> this Revised Package Offer, as the State is not in a position to <strong>of</strong>fer the additional<br />
compensation in each <strong>of</strong> the five areas identified below and simultaneously proceed with arbitrating the<br />
very same five items in dispute.<br />
Pre-Post Work Activities<br />
o Unit 6 already receives compensation <strong>of</strong> 2.5% <strong>for</strong> pre and post work activities. <strong>The</strong> CHP receives<br />
3.5%. <strong>The</strong> difference between what the CHP and Unit 6 receives is 1%. <strong>The</strong> State will provide<br />
this 1% to Correctional Officers and Youth Correctional Officers by adding 1o/o to the general<br />
salary increase (GSl) <strong>for</strong> fiscal year 200712008. <strong>The</strong>re would be no such adjustments <strong>for</strong> any<br />
other Unit 6 classifications,<br />
they do not engage in a comparable amount <strong>of</strong> pre and post work<br />
activities as the COs|Y'COs.<br />
Shift Differential*<br />
r<br />
Effective July 1,2007*, increase Night Shift differential from $ .50 to $ .75 per hour and Weekend<br />
Shift differential from $ .65 to $ .90 per hour.<br />
. Effective July 1, 2008, increase Night Shift differential from $ .75 to $1.00 per hour and Weekend<br />
Shift differential from $ .90 to $1.25 per hour.<br />
Uni<strong>for</strong>m Allowance*<br />
. Effective July 1 , 2007 , increase the uni<strong>for</strong>m allowance from $530 to $730 per year.<br />
. Effective July 1, 2008, increase the uni<strong>for</strong>m allowance from $730 to $880 per year.<br />
Health Benefits*<br />
. 200612007 - <strong>The</strong> State proposes to increase the health benefit contribution to the 200785/80<br />
flat<br />
dollar equivalent. This increase would be effective the first pay period following ratification <strong>of</strong> the<br />
new MOU by the union membership and Legislative approval. <strong>The</strong>re would be no retroactivity <strong>of</strong><br />
the health benefit increase.<br />
o 200712008 - Effective January 1, 2008, increase the health benefit contribution to the flat dollar<br />
equivalent <strong>of</strong> the 200885/80<br />
rates.<br />
. 200812009 - Effective January 1, 2009, increase the health benefit contribution to the flat dollar<br />
,, equivalent <strong>of</strong> the 200985/80<br />
rates.<br />
.t<br />
. 200912010 - Effective January 1, 2010, increase the health benefit contribution to the flat dollar<br />
equivalent <strong>of</strong> the 201085/80<br />
rates.<br />
2
New Recruit Bonus*<br />
i<br />
. Create a new pilot program that provides $2000 bonus payment(s) to current Unit 6 employees<br />
who recruit new CorreðtionalOfficers who graduate from the CDCR academy.<br />
o <strong>The</strong>re is no cap on the number <strong>of</strong> recruit bonuses a Unit 6 employee can receive.<br />
BUSINESS AN D TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT*<br />
o Increase reimbursement to the same level as the Federal Standard Mileage Rate (FSMR).<br />
RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE*<br />
o Increase the amount <strong>of</strong> the recruitment incentive from $175 per month to $350 per month <strong>for</strong> San<br />
Quentin, Correctional Training Facility, and Salinas Valley State Prisons.<br />
<strong>The</strong> State hereby withdraws its previous proposal that contemplated a waiver <strong>of</strong> emptoyee rights<br />
under the Ralph C. Dills Act and proposes the following which will balance the State's need to<br />
manage the prison system, while preserving all bargaining rights <strong>of</strong> Unit 6 and establishing an<br />
improved process <strong>for</strong> resolving employee grievances:<br />
GRIEVANCE AND ARBITRATION PROCEDURE<br />
Modify language to simplify grievance and arbitration, which would include the creation <strong>of</strong> a<br />
singular process rather than the current system which is comprised <strong>of</strong> regular arbitration, 5-day<br />
arbitration, immediate arbitration, pre-scheduled arbitration, and mini-arbitration.<br />
Clarify arbitrator selection and authority, the kinds <strong>of</strong> grievances that are subject to arbitration,<br />
definitions, time limits and consequences <strong>of</strong> untimely responses, and the substance and scope <strong>of</strong><br />
grievance descriptions. Address bifurcation <strong>of</strong> issues, timelines <strong>for</strong> the submission <strong>of</strong> briefs and<br />
decisions and agreement not to abuse process.<br />
r<br />
Currently there are approximately 700+ pending arbitrations. Both parties need reliefrom this<br />
unmanageable backlog. lt is imperative that the partieseek a prompt and efficient means <strong>of</strong><br />
resolving the vast majority <strong>of</strong> these pending arbitrations.<br />
E NTI RE AG RE EM ENT/I M PACT BARGAI N I NG/MANAG EM ENT RIG HTS<br />
Affirm existing language and emphasize that there is no obligation to negotiate or meet and<br />
confer on matters already bargained and covered in the successor MOU.<br />
Unzip all side agreements. Notwithstanding the unzipping <strong>of</strong> such agreements, the partieshall<br />
acknowledge their continuing mutual responsibility to abide by stipulations and orders resulting<br />
from coutt oversight in Madrid, Farrell, Coleman, and Plata. <strong>The</strong> partieshallfurther<br />
acknowledge that nothing in the successor MOU is intended to modify or avoid the parties'<br />
obligations pursuant to such stipulations and court orders. Establish that future agreements shall<br />
only be incorporated<br />
become an addendum to the successor MOU upon written mutual<br />
agreement <strong>of</strong> both parties. Moreover, establish a process to ensure such agreements meet the<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> SB 621. Any previous or future side agreements not mutually incorporated into<br />
the successor MOU shall constitute institutional operational guidelines.<br />
Establish clearly that entire agreement (zipper clause), obligation to bargain (impact bargainíng),<br />
and management rights shall be applied pursuant to the written language <strong>of</strong> the successor MOU.
SICK LEAVE<br />
. Establish that sick leave shall not be counted as time worked <strong>for</strong> purposes <strong>of</strong> overtime.<br />
j o Remove language preventing management from controlling sick leave abuse.<br />
. In order to avoid having the State pay over three (3) times the amount <strong>for</strong> a single shift, limit<br />
permanent intermittent employee's ability to call in sick leave at the last minute.<br />
UNION LEAVE TIME<br />
o Establish an annual donation and use cap <strong>of</strong> 35,000 hours <strong>of</strong> release time bank.<br />
r<br />
Permit Chapter Presidents to utilize the a<strong>for</strong>ementioned 35,000 hour Release Time bank instead<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial business/state release time.<br />
POST & BID<br />
. For Adult, exclud employees assigned to Security Squads, Medical Units, and Transportation<br />
from the <strong>determination</strong> <strong>of</strong> the State's 30%.<br />
. Modify Division <strong>of</strong> Juvenile Justice language in light <strong>of</strong> the "Farrell" remedial plan and provide shift<br />
and regular day <strong>of</strong>f assignments by seniority.<br />
. Clarify CDCR's ability to re-assign temporarily employees to satisfy shorterm needs.<br />
EMPLOYEE REQUESTED TRANSFERS<br />
¡ In light <strong>of</strong> vacancy issues, modify language to address the problem <strong>of</strong> transfers among institutions<br />
and facilities.<br />
CYA STAFFINGMARD POPULATION<br />
o Modify language in light <strong>of</strong> the "Farrell" remedial plan.<br />
JOt NT APPRENTICESH¡P TRAINI NG COMMITTEE (JAC)<br />
. In response to CCPOA's expressed interest in a cooperative approach to training, the State<br />
proposes to establish a Joint Labor Management Apprenticeship Training Committee.<br />
GENERAL CLEANUP<br />
. Modify existing language to reflecthe Department <strong>of</strong> Corrections and Rehabilitation<br />
reorganization.<br />
¡ Delete inapplicable or duplicative language.<br />
* All economic items are effective the first <strong>of</strong> the month after ratification <strong>of</strong> the union membership and<br />
., approval <strong>of</strong> the Legistature in the 200712008 Legislative session, but no soonerthan July 1,2007, and<br />
is subject to agreement on actual contract language.

Re: 200612007 Negotiations on March 29,2007<br />
This letter is intended to document the discussion held at the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Correctional<br />
Peace Officers Association (CCPOA) headquarters on March 29,2007. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
discussions were pursuant to a "revised package <strong>of</strong>fer" from the Department <strong>of</strong><br />
Personnel Administration (DPA) that was to be presented as a "serious <strong>of</strong>fer designed<br />
to obtain an agreement with CCPOA.' You personally began the presentat¡on <strong>for</strong> all the<br />
rank and file executives <strong>of</strong> CCPOA. lf you disagree with any depiction <strong>of</strong> events, please<br />
reply immediately.<br />
ln the presentation <strong>of</strong> your salary <strong>of</strong>fer, you made it very clear that your <strong>of</strong>fer was not<br />
designed to maintain the existing salary relationship between Bargaining Unit 5 (BU5)<br />
and BU6. You stated that your <strong>of</strong>fer would increase the separation in total<br />
compensation and <strong>of</strong>fered no explanatíon other than "that'S our <strong>of</strong>fer."<br />
Additionally, when asked about a portion <strong>of</strong> your proposal that specifically excluded all<br />
classifications except <strong>for</strong> Correctional Otficers and Youth Correctional Officers you<br />
stated that you did not believe that other classifications were entitled to those monies<br />
because they didn't per<strong>for</strong>m any work that would entitle them to it. When asked by J. L.<br />
Adame if this raise would be available <strong>for</strong> Youth Correctional Counselors, you stated<br />
that you didn't believe so, but you weren't sure whathey did or why it should apply to<br />
that classification. When I asked you if all members <strong>of</strong> BU5 got this additional money<br />
regardless <strong>of</strong> job duties, you responded "yes."<br />
At that point I in<strong>for</strong>med you that you were wasting your time. You are well aware that in<br />
the Cali<strong>for</strong>nìa Depañment <strong>of</strong> Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) we are running<br />
about 5000 vacancies. Any increased separation between BU6 and all other law<br />
en<strong>for</strong>cement organizations who seek the same candidates only adds to the difficulty in<br />
recruiting to fill the vacancies. You make no attempt to explain why BU6 should accept<br />
less pay or allow more take-aways from employee rights than BUS. lf you believe that<br />
the members <strong>of</strong> BU6 deserve less pay and sub par terms and conditions <strong>of</strong><br />
employment than BU5, we have a SERIOUS problem.
Dave Gilb April 2, 2007<br />
You stated that you have 30 years <strong>of</strong> experience in negotiations. lt's a shame that you<br />
aren't even aware <strong>of</strong> the job classifications that make up the Bargaining Unit you are<br />
negotiating with. lf you believe that <strong>of</strong>fer was a positive move towards an agreement,<br />
you are sorely mistaken.<br />
You seem to <strong>for</strong>get we made an agreement in 2OO4 with this Administration (and you)<br />
that was violated as soon as the ink was dry on the agreement. We are still iitigating<br />
your refusal to honor that agreement. You remain totally unapologetic <strong>for</strong> the actionl <strong>of</strong><br />
the Agency or the Administration<br />
their failure to abide by that agreement. Your<br />
pt'oposal makes no mention <strong>of</strong> correcting that dispute, nor does yóur proposal express<br />
any interest<br />
doing so.<br />
CCPOA has not tried to hide the fact that trust, in dealing with your department or our<br />
own employing Agency, ís critical. Your <strong>of</strong>fer has done nothing but compound the<br />
distrust that existed be<strong>for</strong>e you made your presentatíon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact that you provided members <strong>of</strong> the Legislature with inflated dollar<br />
amounts, on charts that are different than those provided to GCpoA,<br />
demonstrates the lack <strong>of</strong> seriousness and total absence <strong>of</strong> sincerity in your most<br />
recent <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
lf this is an indícation <strong>of</strong> what this Administration calls "good faith negotiations," we have<br />
enormous gaps to bridge in a very shortime. We will have a very difficult time trying to<br />
create an agreement once we have an understanding <strong>of</strong> the issues we agree to fíx and<br />
how to go about fíxing them. As long as DPA chooses to engage in the obvious<br />
gamesmanship the current <strong>of</strong>fer exudes, we can do nothing but sit back and watch as<br />
valuable time slips away. This window <strong>of</strong> opportunity will close very soon.<br />
CCPOA remains very interested<br />
making an agreement. We have no interest in a bad<br />
agreement. We do not believe a bad agreement helps fillvacancies, create a more<br />
positive work environment or provides the necessary foundation <strong>for</strong> the front line work<br />
<strong>for</strong>ce to build any element <strong>of</strong> re<strong>for</strong>m upon. We want the changes that this Governor<br />
promised on his first days in <strong>of</strong>fice. However, under no circumstances should you<br />
mistake our interest in re<strong>for</strong>m <strong>of</strong> the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia prison system as a sign <strong>of</strong> weakness.<br />
Nor should you expect CCPOA, the members <strong>of</strong> BU6 or the current MOU to accepthe<br />
responsibility <strong>for</strong> where we are today.<br />
We remain available <strong>for</strong> you when you are through playingames. We will work nights,<br />
weekends and/or holidays in an ef<strong>for</strong>to bring this to a rapid conclusion. In spite <strong>of</strong> the<br />
insulthat you called an <strong>of</strong>fer, we both know the problems in the prison system won't<br />
heal themselves. When you got hurt feelings and walked out, you showed your<br />
department's commitment to re<strong>for</strong>m. In the realworld, when Correctional Officers get<br />
their feelings hurt, they can't just pack up and go home.
Dave Gilb<br />
April2,2007<br />
Pagç!<br />
lf you intend to continue to <strong>of</strong>fer us substantially less financially than you gave to BUS,<br />
and you continue to demand substantially more in take-aways in terms and conditions<br />
<strong>of</strong> employment, you will please pardon our: skepticism over your seriousness. lf you<br />
expect CCPOA to accept less and give more on the BU6 MOU when compared to the<br />
BU5 MOU, you need to at least start with a damn good explanation as to why.<br />
Pleas excuse the editorial appearance <strong>of</strong> this letter. lf it helps, please consider this a<br />
counterproposal. We remain ready, willing and able whenever you are.<br />

Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Correctional Peace Officers Associatíon<br />
755 Rlverpolnt Dr., Suite 200<br />
West Sacramento, CA 95841<br />
Dear Mr. Jimenez:<br />
As you are well aware, over the last several mo4ths, the State <strong>of</strong> Cali<strong>for</strong>nia (State) and CCPOA<br />
have participated in <strong>for</strong>mal negotiations to reach agreement on a successor Memorandum <strong>of</strong><br />
Understanding (MOU), arbitrated issues related to salary and benefits, collaborated regarding<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> the arbitrator's award and attempted in<strong>for</strong>mallyto improve Labor<br />
Management relations. Most recently, on March 29,2007, the State met with CCPOA and<br />
reconvened main table bargaining to discuss the March 22, 2007, revised package <strong>of</strong>fer which<br />
was presented by the Director <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Personnel Administration (DPA), Mr. Dave<br />
Gitb.<br />
As CCPOA has been in<strong>for</strong>med on multiple occasions, including the opening comments made by<br />
the Director, his presence at the bargaining table was to present a package <strong>of</strong>fer which<br />
indicated the parameters <strong>of</strong> a successor MOU from the State's perspective. <strong>The</strong> Director was<br />
presenting to CCPOA a serious <strong>of</strong>fer and the State fully expected that there would be future<br />
negotlation sessions to work out the details <strong>of</strong> the negotiated language.<br />
In that the State was unable to continue its presentation, we could not <strong>for</strong>mally communicate<br />
that a -year term is available <strong>for</strong> consideration, as previously discussed with you and CCPOA's<br />
Vice President, Chuck Alexander. <strong>The</strong> 4-year option is detailed in the attached <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
During the brief meeting on March 29,2007, CCPOA presented some questions regarding one<br />
particular item <strong>of</strong> the State's <strong>of</strong>fer, Pre-Post Work Activities. Based upon the dialogue and<br />
questions raised, the State has modified its <strong>of</strong>fer to include all classifications in Unit 6.<br />
On April 2,2007, you wrote a letter to the Director with CCPOA's depiction <strong>of</strong> events <strong>of</strong> the<br />
March 29,2007 meeting. Per your <strong>request</strong>, this letter confirms that the State does not agree<br />
with CCPOA's depiction <strong>of</strong> such events. In an ef<strong>for</strong>t to move <strong>for</strong>ward, however, the State will<br />
not address the issues point by point. <strong>The</strong> State must address the closing <strong>of</strong> your letter In which<br />
you <strong>request</strong>ed that your letter <strong>of</strong> April 2,200T be considered a "counter-proposal" (without<br />
identifying a single element <strong>of</strong> a purported counter-propbsal). Although the State does not<br />
consider your correspondence to be a counter proposal, and in light <strong>of</strong> the fact that the meeting<br />
<strong>of</strong> March 29,2007 ended prematurely, the State ls combining the previous 3-year package <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
with the verbal -year package <strong>of</strong>fer into the attached package <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
l
Mr. Jimenez<br />
April6, 2007<br />
Page 2<br />
<strong>The</strong> 4-year option includes' another year <strong>of</strong> the general salary increases based upon the "9666'<br />
<strong>for</strong>mula, increases <strong>for</strong> health benefits, a mechanism to resolve the on-going dispute over prepost<br />
work activíties and modification to the retirement <strong>for</strong>mula <strong>for</strong> new employees hired on or<br />
afterJuly 1,2007.<br />
In an ef<strong>for</strong>to dispel any confusion regarding how the State has calculated the "9666" <strong>for</strong>mula<br />
projections, the "$666" <strong>for</strong>mula calculation <strong>for</strong> July 1,2007 is attached.<br />
<strong>The</strong> State continues to desire to negotiate a successor MOU and believes that the 3 or 4 year<br />
options are fair, generous and serious <strong>of</strong>fers which are good <strong>for</strong> our employees, your members.<br />
I will continue to work with Chuck Alexander to discuss the available dates and locations <strong>for</strong><br />
such negotiations. ln the mean time, please feelfree to contact me or Labor Relations Officer,<br />
Kristine Rodrigues at (916) 323-7998 if you have any questions.<br />

COMPENSATION ITEMS IN DISPUTE<br />
CCPOA presently is seeking to arbitrate additional compensation issues. Specifically, CCPOA seeks a<br />
<strong>determination</strong> that the salary <strong>for</strong>mula requires the State to pay CCPOA the same as the Cali<strong>for</strong>nia<br />
Highway Patrol (CHP), Unit 5, with respecto pre and post shift activities, shift differential, uni<strong>for</strong>m<br />
allowance, health benefits, and recruit bonus.<br />
At this point, the fiscal impact <strong>of</strong> an arbitration decision on these matters is uncertain. To avoid such<br />
fiscal uncertainty and in an ef<strong>for</strong>t to secure a successor MOU, the State is prepared to address all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
disputed items in the successor MOU as detailed below rather than through arbitration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> economic proposals contained herein contemplate (1) CCPOA's withdrawal <strong>of</strong> arbitration DPA No.<br />
06-06-0399/CCPOA No. 19101 in its entirety or a withdrawal <strong>of</strong> all issues except pre and post shift<br />
activity compensation, as described in more detail below, and (2) CCPOA's agreement on all other terms<br />
identified in this April 6, 2007 amended Package Offer. ln the absence <strong>of</strong> such a withdrawal (entire or all<br />
but pre and post shift activity compensation), the State will be <strong>for</strong>ced to reevaluate the economics <strong>of</strong> this<br />
Package Offer, as the State is not in a position to <strong>of</strong>fer the additional compensation in each <strong>of</strong> the areas<br />
identified below and simultaneously proceed with arbitrating some or all <strong>of</strong> those items as well.<br />
@*<br />
r<br />
Unit 6 already receives compensation <strong>of</strong> 2.5% <strong>for</strong> pre and post work activities. <strong>The</strong> CHP receives<br />
3.5%, <strong>The</strong> difference between what the CHP and Unit 6 receives is 1%. <strong>The</strong> State will provide<br />
1% to Unit 6 employees by adding 1% to the general salary increase (GSl) <strong>for</strong> fiscal year<br />
200712008. (<strong>The</strong> 3-year option contemplates CCPOA's withdrawal <strong>of</strong> arbitration DPA No. 06-06.<br />
0399/CCPOA No. 19101 in its entirety).<br />
4-Year Option<br />
r<br />
In anticipation <strong>of</strong> CCPOA continuing to dispute the issue <strong>of</strong> pre and post work activity<br />
compensation, as a part <strong>of</strong> the 4th year option, CCPOA may continue to arbitrate the single issue<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pre and Post Work Activity Compensation <strong>of</strong> DPA No. 06-06-0399/CCPOA No. 19101, To the<br />
extenthat an arbitrator awards compensation in excess <strong>of</strong> the I % that the State is already<br />
proposing to pay in the previous bullet point, such additional compensation will be added to the<br />
general salary increase in fiscal year 201012011.<br />
Shift Differential*<br />
lncreases in shift differential are consistent with the interpretation <strong>of</strong> the arbitrator's award dated<br />
November 18, 2006 and resolve the current shift ditferential dispute as identified in the pending<br />
arbitration <strong>of</strong> DPA No. 06-06-0399/CCPOA No. 19101.<br />

. Effective July 1, 2008, increase Night Shíft differential from $ .75 to $1.00 per hour and Weekend<br />
Shift differential from $ .90 to $1.25 per hour.<br />
Increases in uni<strong>for</strong>m allowance are consistent with the interpretation <strong>of</strong> the arbitrator's award dated<br />
November 18, 2006 and resolve the current uni<strong>for</strong>m allowance dispute as identified in the pending<br />
arbitration <strong>of</strong> DPA No. 06-06-0399/CCPOA No. 19101.<br />

award dated November 18, 2006 and resolve the current health benefit dispute as identified in the<br />
pending arbitration <strong>of</strong> DPA No. 06-06-0399/CCPOA No' 19101.<br />
t 200612007 - <strong>The</strong> State proposes to increase the health benefit contribution to the 200785/80<br />

New Becruit Bonus*<br />
In recognition <strong>of</strong> the State's desire to fiÍl vacant positions; the establishment <strong>of</strong> the New Recruit<br />
Bonus is consistent with and exceeds the interpretation <strong>of</strong> the arbitrator's award <strong>of</strong> November 18,<br />
2006 and resolves the current recruit bonus dispute as identified in the pending arbitration <strong>of</strong> DPA<br />
No, 06-06-0399/CCPOA No. 19101<br />

under the Ralph C. Dills Act and proposes the following which will balance the State's need to<br />
manage the prison system, while preserving all bargaining rights <strong>of</strong> Unit 6 and establishing an<br />
improved process <strong>for</strong> resolving employee grlevances:<br />

decisions and agreement not to abuse process.<br />
¡ Currently there are approximately 700+ pending arbitrations. Both parties need relief from this<br />

State President<br />
Cali<strong>for</strong>nia Correctional Peace Officers Association<br />
755 Riverpoint Dr., Suite 200<br />
West Sacramento. CA 95841<br />
Dear Mr. Jimenez:<br />
This letteresponds to your letter to me and to Steve Weiss' letter to Dave Gilb, both dated<br />
April 6, 2007.<br />
You mention that CCPOA needs, as a "precursod'to future negotiations, responses to four<br />
pages <strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>s "in order to have intelligent and fruitful discussions" with the State<br />
regarding its most recent package <strong>of</strong>fer. You afso indicate that additional <strong>request</strong>s may be<br />
<strong>for</strong>thcoming. <strong>The</strong> State has afready provided voluminous in<strong>for</strong>mation and documentation to<br />
CCPOA throughout the course <strong>of</strong> negotiations. Regardfess <strong>of</strong> the amount <strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
provided, however, nothing appears to have enabled "fruitfu|'discussions with the State.<br />
Although the State is reviewing CCPOA's most recent set <strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>s, and will<br />
respond in accordance with its legal obligations,<br />
this juncture the State cannot help but<br />
question CCPOA's motivation <strong>for</strong> making these contínuous <strong>request</strong>s. We believe you are well<br />
aware <strong>of</strong> the answers to some <strong>of</strong> these questions, the most obvious being "the total number <strong>of</strong><br />
outstandingrievances<br />
Unit 6 along with a brief description <strong>of</strong> the issue" and "copies <strong>of</strong> all<br />
grievances where the CDCR/DPA failed to respond in a timely fashion as prescribed in the<br />
language <strong>of</strong> the current MOU." <strong>The</strong>se grievances were initiated and fonvarded to management<br />
by your organization and all responses to these grievances are sent to the CCPOA<br />
representative; there<strong>for</strong>e this in<strong>for</strong>mation is readily available to you. <strong>The</strong> State is concerned that<br />
CCPOA's in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>s are designed merely to delay and frustrate the negotiation <strong>of</strong> a<br />
successor MOU.<br />
On a related note, your repeated false accusation that DPA ordered a hidden recording device<br />
at a negotiatíng session is <strong>of</strong>fensive and unpr<strong>of</strong>essional. You have been provided with both<br />
verbal and written assurances that no one on the State's negotiating team had any knowledge<br />
<strong>of</strong> nor did anyone direct the court rep<strong>of</strong>ter to use such technology. <strong>The</strong> State trusts that you will<br />
discontinue making such false and harmful accusations.<br />
With respect to the State's economic proposals, there is nothing "hidden" abouthe State's<br />
enhanced package <strong>of</strong>fer. <strong>The</strong> retirement change you reference was noted clearly and<br />
conspicuously<br />
multiple documents that were provided to CCPOA.
Mr. Mike Jimenez<br />
April 1 1, 2007<br />
Page 2<br />
In closing, the reason our last negotiation session concluded prematurely is that you repeatedly<br />
stated that the State was wasting its time explaíning its most recent package <strong>of</strong>fer. We are noi<br />
interested<br />
wasting time and remain committed tonegotiating a successor MOU. However, it<br />
must be noted that negotiating with an apparently unwilling participant casts doubt on the<br />
Union's good faith intentions. <strong>The</strong> State remains hopeful that CCPOA will display a more<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional attitude that contributes to a productive rather than a futile contract negotíation.<br />

Re: Unit 6 Negotiations<br />
File No. 032814<br />
As you know, CCPOA received the State's revised contract proposal at the<br />
meeting on March 29,2007 as documen-ted (albeit differently) by each side's recent<br />
c<strong>of</strong>fespondence. That proposal was amended on April 6 to add an "optional fourth year."<br />
CCPOA remains gravely concerned that the State is reluctant to engage in the<br />
type <strong>of</strong> meaningful discussion and dialogue necessary to address the innumerable<br />
problems impacting a prison system at crisis point. We cannot help but conclude that the<br />
State speaks with two tongues: 'With one, it in<strong>for</strong>ms representatives <strong>of</strong> the Legislature that<br />
its proposal will maintain the $666 differential with Unit 5; with another, it passes a<br />
proposal that-by the State's own admission-does not maintain the differential, and sets<br />
back perilously ef<strong>for</strong>ts to address the chronic vacancy problems in Unit 6. (Feeding<br />
columnists invective blaming the Union <strong>for</strong> the system's woes aids our <strong>for</strong>ward progïess<br />
not one iota either.)<br />
CCPOA is also concerned at the State's unwillingness to provide meaningful<br />
responses to in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>request</strong>s from CCPOA. Julie Chapman took the position in an<br />
cBM-SF\SF352679.1<br />

Unit 6 Negotiations<br />
Page 2<br />
April 1I,2007 letter that CCPOA's <strong>request</strong> <strong>for</strong> grievance in<strong>for</strong>mation was over<br />
burdensome. However, as demonstrated by Mr. Gilb's quote in Daniel Weinhaub's April<br />
19,2007 article in the Sacramento Bee entitled, "'Who is in Control Inside Prisons? It's<br />
negotiable," the State is more than willing to make all <strong>of</strong> this in<strong>for</strong>mation available <strong>for</strong> its<br />
sycophantic political hacks.<br />
Mr. Jimenezwrote to Chief <strong>of</strong> Labor, Julie Chapman, on April 13,2007,<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering to take the State's proposal to our Board and membership. His reasoning was<br />
that if the State and Agency Secretary believe this proposal is fair and absolutely<br />
necessary to the betterment <strong>of</strong> CDCR, the State should take its case to our membership.<br />
Without speculating on why, CCPOA has received no response to the <strong>of</strong>fer. If<br />
the State has any intention <strong>of</strong> coming to CCPOA's Board meeting per CCPOA's <strong>of</strong>fer,<br />
Chuck Alexander should be in<strong>for</strong>med by no later than noon on Monday, April 23,2007.<br />
CCPOA has multiple proposals <strong>for</strong> a successor memorandum <strong>of</strong><br />
understanding that we have not yet passed across the table. In the interests <strong>of</strong> trying to<br />
move negotiations <strong>for</strong>ward, we have held our proposals in abeyance, while attempting to<br />
proceed just using the State's proposals to see if it is possible to reach agreement on a<br />
faster track <strong>of</strong> negotiations that if we put <strong>for</strong>th all <strong>of</strong> our proposals at this time.<br />

Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, thus far, we have no confidence that an agreement can be<br />
reached with the State's present proposal as the framework <strong>for</strong> negotiations. We reserve<br />
the right to put all <strong>of</strong> our proposals on the table.<br />
