CCC Update 7/1/10

A couple things to touch on, first, with the following holiday approaching on Sunday, there seemed to be some confusion coming out of the assignment office. First cops were told they had Monday off, then were told not. Sacramento was contacted and the final outcome, CCC does not want to have to deal with who had the budgeted holiday positions and who doesn't. It seems that the assignment office has shuffled PY's around with these medical jobs so much they don't know which is which. But the CDW did make a good call and said that everybody with weekend and holiday's off will have Monday off. The best solution.

Also we are filing a safety grievance on how CCC is running normal program during weekend and holiday's. CCC management failed to look closely at this. There is no ISU. There are no Counselors, Voc, ect. We are short staff on third watch. Third watch shows up at 14oo hours and there is full program going until recall. CCC management needs to recall their yards prior to third watch arriving on their shifts. Prime example, last Saturday when there was a code 3 on Lassen Yard at 1405 hours. Staff safety should be their priority. No excuses. We cannot run these programs with less staff. We do not need to loose a life because of the stupidity of this state.
