DPA Runs Afoul Of The Law - Again!

December 12, 2007

To: State Board,

Yesterday we were informed that the PERB (Public Employee Relations Board) has issued a complaint against regarding the Last, Best and Final.

In the complaint, PERB States;


· By implementing terms and conditions for a three-year duration, Respondent acted contrary to the provisions of Government Code sections 3517 and 3517.8 and thus violated Government Code section 3519©.

What this means is that the State has violated Government Code by imposing a Last Best and Final for a period longer than the annual State budget. As a result of this complaint, there will be a settlement conference on January 7, 2008 with a subsequent hearing if settlement is not reached.

At this point, it would appear as though all provisions of the Last Best and Final, including post and bid, are only good until June 30 of 2008.

We will provide more information as it becomes available.

Chuck Alexander
CCPOA Executive Vice President

Catastrophic Time Bank Donations.

The Christmas season is upon us and, as our thoughts turn to family, friends and reunions, let’s not forget those brother and sister Peace Officers who are less fortunate and have fallen upon hard times through illness and injury.

There are several Catastrophic Time Banks currently in operation for individuals who are in need of your vacation or holiday time contributions. We take care of our own, so make your choice and donate time to these worthy individuals.

Thank you for your consideration.
