Special
Agents at the Department of Justice will have final veto authority over
any candidate that Peace Officers of California (P.O.C.) considers endorsing for Attorney General.
Furthermore,
if Special Agents choose to support a candidate for AG, they are free to
create their own fund separate from
P.O.C.
to affect their election,
prohibited at CAUSE / CSLEA. The Special Agents can
use their association’s name for political endorsements, something that
is also prohibited at CAUSE / CSLEA, as long as it is in accordance with
California law or regulation.
P.O.C. knows
that politics is a tough game. We have hired the State’s premier
political strategists
California Strategies
and bargaining expert
Marty
Morgenstern to represent you. If the Special Agents want
to hire any consultant or employee to assist them in achieving your
goals – more power to you!
The Special
Agents need two things to make themselves an effective force at the
State Capitol. They need release time and affiliate
dues. Special Agents need to establish a team of
Agents who can make the rounds at the Capitol, not once or twice a year,
but two or three times, per month, minimum. The
biggest problem that Special Agents have a lack of identity at the
Capitol. It also hurts you that the “president” of
the union is a Special Agent, but can’t tell anyone what special agents
do, because he’s never actually worked as one.
P.O.C.
does not believe that union members need to use their own personal time
to do union business or achieve union goals.
Every affiliate board member will sit on
the Political Action Committee (PAC) of
P.O.C.,
including the Special
Agents. We will publish votes on every issue and
every expense of your dues money, something that is also prohibited at
CAUSE / CSLEA. Your own Board member cannot or will
not provide Special Agents or
P.O.C.
with copies of vote approvals for
approximately
$60,000 in your dues money.

the change to help
State Peace Officers gain pay-parity:
