SPPOAC Severance
Fellow Rangers and Lifeguards,

It is not very often that we rank and file officers have the ability to mold our own future - without overstatement, now is such a time.

The Board of Directors of the State Park Peace Officers Association of California supports the movement to sever all Peace Officers from Bargaining Unit 7 and to create a new Bargaining Unit 22. This decision has been reached after evaluating all known risks and potential benefits from such an action, and it is our opinion that the long term gains to be had more than offset any risks.

Attached you will find a document outlining some details. We urge you to read this document carefully, to print it and distribute it to all of your fellow Rangers and Lifeguards. We want all of our members to be advised of all the facts, and will present them as they become available. We are convinced that this move is good for our membership, and our goal is that 100% OF THE MEMBERSHIP SUBMIT SEVERANCE CARDS. Apathy is the enemy - get out and talk with every person you can and get out the vote.

There will be much more information to come, and we encourage you to ask questions. The topic at hand is too important to take lightly - our future is at stake.

In solidarity,

The SPPOAC Board of Directors
