Bruce,

Do you understand the meanings and implications of the Articles of the Union Contract I cited in my email to Peevey? I guess Bill Ahern is a Ph.D. and I am certain that when he reads the contract, he would conclude that you do not understand what you are doing. Let me state this to you: I am getting very tired having to constantly deal with individuals who refuse to accept that they have limited knowledge in Certain Substantive areas and instead of learning continue to behave like fools. I am a Job Steward and I have the authority to raise the issues I did raise in my emails to Peevey. Your limited education is really a challenge to your ability to successfully represent Knowledge Professionals.

Sincerely, Yaya Fanusie, Ph.D.(81)

Pete:
I hope you don't mind that familiar a salutation. We have met on a couple of occasions and been
introduced to one another at least once, but I suspect you know me only as the "union guy" or some such designation. I am President of DLC 745, SEIU Local 1000, CSEA and I wanted to state unequivocally that any individuals who may approach CPUC management, whether they profess to represent "the union" or not, do not have such authority without democratic process as defined by the Civil Service Division Council. No such process has taken place with respect to any position on the
selection of William Ahern as Executive Director of CPUC.

I shall be out of town, attending to my parents' needs in New Mexico. My parents are in their 80s and have needs not unfamiliar to most in that age group. I'll be away from work from the afternoon of February 6, 2003 to February 14, 2003. I wanted to offer a clarifying statement in light of the fact that there has been discussion of possible meetings between CPUC managers and at least one union steward regarding Mr. Ahern's selection. Members have inquired of Mr. Ahern's suitability and I would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss this matter at your earliest convenience.

I would hope that SEIU Local 1000, DLC 745 and CPUC management can meet at least monthly to discuss issues of mutual concern. This has been the practice since I was elected president for my first term in 1998, I certainly encourage its continuation. Thank you for your time and patience.
