- March 23, 2012: Negotiations Update - As a result of a number of meetings with our Legislative Analyst, the IUOE Unit 12 Bargaining team met on March 8 to discuss the pros and cons of re-opening Unit 12's MOU with the State of California. After long discussions, the Unit 12 Negotiating Team unanimously agreed that it is in the best interest of the Unit 12 membership to request a 1 (one) year extension of the current contract, with the addition of Health & Welfare for the rest of 2012 & 2013. The Health and Welfare proposal to the State would require the State to pick up 80% of the increased costs for the rest of 2012 through 2013.
As a result of the Unit 12 Negotiating Teams decision, on March 22, 2012 IUOE State Unit 12 "Sunshined" with the State of California. (Sunshining is where bargaining proposals are presented in an open format that allow the public an opportunity to see the topics on which each side intends to bargain.) In addition to working on ratification of the current MOU, IUOE is continuing to work with the State of California Department of Personnel and the Department of Water Resources to rectify DWR's recruitment and retention issue.
