Below is an example of the information request I have sent to the LRA’s at each institution. You do not need to do anything with this, it is already in the mail to your institution. This is just an FYI to keep you in the loop. Any information I get, will be copied back to each of you.

Off the Table, CDCR promised that they would be “completely transparent” about the redirections. After four unanswered information requests to CDCR Labor Relation, “completely transparent” must mean “insubstantial,” “ghost-like,” “flimsy.”

You will notice that some of the information I am asking for is a couple weeks prior to the official implementation date of the Redirection Plan. I’m trying to get a picture of how many vacancies were being run before and after.

Email me if you have any questions.
