CCSO ACCOMPLISHMENTS

CCSO is always working hard for our members. The following are some of the
major initiatives we have attained:

    • CCSO fights for all correctional excluded employees to attain and maintain benefits and raises.
    • By initiating a lawsuit, CCSO secured the 3.125% pay raise for SO6
      and MO6 employees.
    • Through CCSO’s efforts CDCR Managers received a 5.1% pay raise retroactive to July 1, 2005.
    • CCSO battled the Governor, Legislators, and DPA to give supervisors and managers tied to unit 6 the 3.0% at 50 years retirement formula.
    • CCSO won a permanent injunction against CDCR, which prohibits an interrogation of a correctional supervisor if the representative of his or her choice is unavailable.
    • CDCR and CCSO worked closely together to implement a fair and workable Random Drug Testing Program for Excluded and Exempt Peace Officers.
    • Watch Preference by Seniority – CCSO has gained watch preference by seniority for CDCR Lieutenants.
    • Longevity Pay – CCSO was instrumental in obtaining Longevity Pay for Peace Officer Supervisors.
    • As a result of constant CCSO monitoring, CDCR is hiring all vacant positions at each institution.
    • CCSO’s vigorous vigilance has made DPA adhere to AB 743, the Parity Bill.
    • Thanks to CCSO efforts to ensure wardens abide by the meet and confer rules, wardens are meeting with CCSO Chapter Presidents.
    • CCSO has established a Time Release Bank for Executive and Chapter Representatives of CCSO to attend administrative and organizational meetings.
    • CCSO was directly responsible for CDCR notifying employees who are suspended without pay to receive information regarding their options for ensuring uninterrupted benefit coverage.
    • CCSO has prompted CDCR to place rather than assign during facility closures.
    • CCSO worked with the Receivers Office to obtain enhanced pay and working conditions for medical supervisors and managers.
    • Reestablished the grievance process for excluded employees.
    • All correctional excluded employees are receiving the respect and recognition – so long deserved.
    • DPA is reviewing Supervisory and Managerial non-peace officer’s salaries and benefits as a result of CCSO lobbying.
    • We have fought in the courts for non-peace officer supervisors.
