Freddy Martinez - End Of Watch

Freddy Martinez, 28 year veteran Correctional Officer at CIM, passed away today from natural causes at Pomona Valley Regional Medical Center.

For all who knew him, his indomitable spirit will live in the hearts and minds of those who’s spirits were lifted by his keen sense of humor. GOD, you will know Freddy by his beloved Viet-Nam era Army field jacket with his E-5 Sergeant’s stripes on the sleeves. GOD bless you Freddy - make them laugh.

The CCPOA Chapter would like to thank Mr. Poulos, for being in attendance at Freddy's hospital bedside, together with the CIM Chapter President, prior to Freddy's passing on Wednesday.

Senate panel delays vote on state negotiator

The union representing the state's 31,000 prison guards has been without a contract since July 2006. Last month, a state board ruled that contract negotiations were at an initial impasse, and asked for an outside mediator to intervene.

The move ups the stakes in the negotiation process. The next step would be to rule that the talks were at a "hard impasse." If a hard impasse is declared, the state can represent a final offer and then impose a deal, even without the union's agreement. [More]
