That’s nice, the state provides our own personal Geiger counter to deficit day.

In his budget, the governor cut 10,000 jobs but left the 66 intact. I think that says a lot.

Where does forcey bear come into play here? In the early implementation of the 66 before the personnel is hired to support it? Oh no, I’m going to be forced to work the original hours I was previously scheduled to work? So basically, my old schedule but with more pay? Sounds terrible…

For those of us who have been signing up for 10 days of OT just to get awarded 1 of them yes so upsetting 
we have to get awarded (regular time) OT. 
It’s only a matter of time when people start saying 2 days straight is too much work…

Legislature passed a budget
However, it was just to.meet the Constitutional deadline of Today, June 15 so they continue to get paid.
The final budget, is yet to be sighed by the governor. However, in the event the existing agreement does not get replaced and approved by a new collective bargaining agreement by June 30, 2024. State law takes over and the existing agreement gets automatically extended by 1yr. This includes the 66hr work week beginning November 1, 2024.
What that schedule looks like?
How will salaries be effected?
I would ask your local L2881 representative

Regardless of what the schedule looks like. The staffing won’t be in place for some time and everyone’s getting OT for a day they were already previously scheduled.

Yup
And unless something changes. That extra day of OT won’t be PERSable and the EDWC will go from 76hr a PP to 52hr a PP.

Where is that stated? Also, the union is actively bargaining with a 56hr/no loss in comp in sight, so once that’s settled the 66 should be on par with that.
Has there been a vote on a new agreement?
The existing agreement expires in 15 days. When the existing agreement expires and no new agreement is voted upon and in place. By state law the existing agreement is AUTOMATICALLY extended 1yr. That is the brilliance of the 66hr in this agreement that expires in 15 days. However, the Dept of Finance has been on record for DECADES that if you don’t work it, you don’t get paid for it. So when the work week gets reduced by 6hr per week. That is 6hr leas of FSLA OT being counted towards EDWC. Put another way, unplanned OT is not currently used for PERSable compensation purposes. So no new agreement, existing agreement is extended. The union and the dept are both on record for “no loss in compensation” and in the last 6wk
“No Loss in PERSable compensation” has been the story.
Finally the Legislature just passed a budget (holding/temporary) that reduces CDCR budget by $1 Billion due to the growing budget deficit.
Hating been through not one, but two different times where IOUS’s were issued to ALL STATE employees in the last 30yr.
I’m old enough to know and understand there is a difference between “no loss in compensation” and “no Loss in PERSable compensation” its the latter language that is MISSING FROM THE CURRENT MOU.

The union people I have been talking to are preaching no loss in compensation. But when I ask about the loss of 24 hrs of EDWIC they just shrug their shoulders and slowly slink away. The 24 hours a month translates to about 1k less a month of in come on a 72hr week. How will that effect my retirement when I retire?

All provisions of the existing the current agreement remain in place until and new agreement is reached. Not automatically renewed for one year…
Why would we have what we want to bargain for in the MOU? Try the C&OP. No loss is PERSable income is what we want. How does that happen? Any number of ways.
