What will affect your career in 2012?

Minimize

Opponents of state service have renewed their attacks on state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees once again.

There are many initiatives in circulation to gather signatures needed to become a ballot measure in the 2012 election, and a number of them target your livelihood.

Get the facts on this page, get informed, and then head over to our Lobby Day page and get registered to attend our "March on the Capitol".

THE ISSUES

Pension Reform

  • Gov. Brown's 12-point Pension Reform Plan
    • Requires all new AND current employees to contribute 50% of annual cost of their pensions
    • Reduces defined benefit, adds riskier 401(k)-style investment
    • Increases retirement age to 67
    • Introduces anti-spiking measures
       
  • A Guide to CalPERS Pension Facts
    • Avg. Pension - $2,332/month
    • Avg. Length of Public Service - 20 years
    • Avg. Age at Retirment - 60 years
    • 93,651 jobs created as a result of CalPERS pensions
       

Anti-Political Spending

  • Initiative circulated for signature gathering
    • Initiative has been cleared by Sec. of State to appear on Nov ballot
    • Would drastically reduce or eliminate ability of ACSS to fight for excluded employee rights in the Capitol
    • Would eliminate ability of ACSS to support political candidates that will fight for excluded employee rights


More info coming soon.
