It seems that the membership of CCPOA has been placed in a box from which there is no escape.
CCPOA is a proud and noble organization . . .
I'll say it again!!
CCPOA is a proud and noble organization!!
I say this twice because there are those that live in the EC box and view any criticism of the CCPOA leadership as union busting. Thereby any argument or evidence in support of one's criticism can be dismissed without discussion. The EC and their minions have made the California Corporation, CCPOA, and the Executive Council inseperable. Any criticism against one of the Executive Council, Mike Jimenez in particular, is portrayed by the EC as being an attack on the corpus of the organization and, if lodged by CCPOA's steering committee - the State Board of Directors, is not tolerated. The offending Chapter President is attacked, berated and belittled, from the podium, at the next State Board.
Constructive and valid Criticism has become the new bogey man that is being blamed for the union's ills instead of blaming the root causation for the criticism. The feeding frenzies on the State Board of Directors, conducted from the podium, have become the new Dog-And-Pony show that deflects attention from the root causes which give rise to the complaints.
Essentially, The Executive Council and their leader have wrapped themselves in the flag of the CCPOA membership and have convinced a sufficient number of members that any criticism of the policies of individual leaders of CCPOA is a direct attack on the organization itself. By cultivating and perpetuating the "seige mentality" within the membership, West Sacramento has silenced it's dues paying opposition. By the elimination of viable, credible candidates for the office of the State President, either immediately before or at the convention itself, Mike Jimenez will always win the election for a lack of a popular selection.
Don't bother to complain about this treatment though, your shouts cannot be heard outside of the box that Mike has placed you in. Just pick up your sword and follow Mike to the next windmill, although you may only get a T-Shirt for your efforts.
