Your ACSS is pleased to announce the official formation of the California Supervisors and Managers Advisory Council, a group dedicated to improving the careers of excluded employees statewide.
ACSS President Arlene Espinoza worked in conjunction with Assemblymember Joan Buchanan and DPA Director Ron Yank to establish the Council as a forum for ACSS and other excluded employee organizations to work together with DPA to develop and implement solutions to excluded employees issues.
The Council will meet quarterly to address the problems that supervisors and managers face on a daily basis: pay inequity, pension attacks, and generally implementing and running the State’s public programs in light of budget cuts, hiring freezes, and layoffs.
All too often, excluded employee have not been recognized or compensated for their contributions and accomplishments. This council is an opportunity to change that.
The first meeting of the Council took place on February 1st. ACSS and organizations such as CCSO, CAMS, CAPS, and PECG met to discuss how the upcoming DPA and SPB merger - into the new CalHR department - will affect supervisors and managers.
DPA Director Ron Yank reiterated that his administration is dedicated to working with ACSS and other organizations to better meet the needs of excluded employees throughout the establishment of CalHR and beyond.
