I knew CDCR was wrong on this issue and I'm glad they are choosing to cancel there original memo. Print and take to work and pass this updated memo out. This should replace all other memo's regarding the patches.

I hope this doesn't upset our fashion police LT. !!!!!

Due to the confusion on the patch issue, per the Warden, we have until June 1, 2008 to be in compliance with the November 30, 2006 memo which few have seen. So pass the word it will be posted on the boards and if any Supervisors "Threaten" any staff about the patch issue contact a "Chief Job Steward" at any yard immediately! These are F. Stevens at RC-East, D. L. Drake at RC-West, M. Krinock at RC-Central

Per the warden this info should have been passed out to everyone before now so again you have till June 1, 2008 to come into compliance on the patches !

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.

CCPOA Executive Vice President
