Our Union’s Bargaining Unit (BU) 15 Statewide Correctional Supervising Cook (CSC) Food Services Joint Labor Management Committee (JLMC) met with CalHR, CDCR and CCHCS to address issues we experience across the state. We voiced our concerns about the following topics:
- Realignment changes
- Broken cquipment
- CCHCS CSCs doing SCC duties
- Need for more incarcerated workers
We emphasized the importance of getting equipment fixed or replaced in a reasonable amount of time. We uplifted the need for a larger incarcerated workforce and the ability to schedule additional hours as needed. We brought to light that in some institutions, CSCs are doing the SCC duty of ordering from outside venders, and the State agreed that they shouldn’t be.
“We are disappointed and frustrated with the changes made to food services with lack of input from all stakeholders.”
