Recruitment and Retention Update

Post

Over the last few months the Unit 1 Bargaining team members and members in over 34 classifications prepared expert testimony to present to the California Human Resources (CalHR) department.  Listed below are the members who are doing excellent work in representing your classification group during this process. The last classification group presented their testimony and proposal to CalHR on February 4th. The next phase of implementing this contract language consists of meeting with CalHR and getting their response to our proposals; our goal is to secure the meeting within the next couple of weeks. We appreciate all the hard work that went into every presentation by our Unit 1 peers. We will continue to push CalHR to resolve the inadequate state classification and compensation system. In order to further support the proposals submitted to CalHR, please click here and request your department send a letter of support to CalHR
