Systems and Work Place Privacy Policy

This week, Local 1000 and CalPERS worked together to clarify the language in CalPERS’ Systems and Work Place Privacy policy, in order to make sure that it was no more expansive than necessary . The Union was represented by Brenda Modkins, Bargaining Unit 1 chair, Karen Jefferies, a Unit 4 Bargaining Unit Negotiating Committee member, Latreece Smith, the president of DLC 781 and CalPERS representative and the contract department staff. 

Recruitment and retention is moving forward in Bargaining Unit 1.  Local 1000 has set a May 5 meeting with CalHR to discuss ground rules and the order in which to discuss information about the various classification and classification groupings. 

The Bargaining Unit Negotiation Committee members have been assigned to the classifications/groups and are working on organizing those groups and building support in the field for the groups to which they have been assigned.

The BUNC members who have been assigned to each group are as follows:

The Correctional Supervising Cooks (CSC) task force met with CDCR management on April 17, 2015, to discuss the persistent problems around retention and recruitment of that classification. The meeting was very fruitful and both sides offered potential solutions to stabilize the classification and reduce the statewide vacancy problems.
