For those who do not know Brenda Timmons, Brenda Timmons was a former DLC President of 745 and still an effective job steward. I share what I do with other stewards because It shows them that there several ways to represent members and make the worksite a congenial place to work. It also shows to others that “The State Rights” proviso of the MOU is not above the laws, the Constitution of the state of California or The United States Constitution.
I need to confirm that Brenda Timmons is not now nor in the past a member of the Concerned Staff Committee. Let me state also that had she been a member you all would have known that fact because she would not have made it a secret.

I too, am not a member. I thought Yaya was simply sharing information with some stewards. I usually read and delete as it has no direct impact or importance to me. I wonder however, if at times, one fears the usual retaliation that usually goes along with speaking up and/or supporting others in their causes (no promotions etc). It is either ironic or coincidental that most stewards fear they will not get promoted until they refrain from being a steward. It is difficult being a steward and it seems as though we (CSEA) have lost the report we previously had with management. I truly hope that some day the union and management will not be perceived as enemies and can work together towards the good for all.

Bruce,
You are correct too. You and David have not nor now members of What Now?! or the Concerned Staff Committee.

Both What Now?! and The Concerned Staff Committee were established in 1992 in CPUC to monitor and expose managerial abuse, incompetence and poor leadership in the Commission. It is no longer restricted to CPUC. It is now statewide. Visit the Website: www.americawhatnow .com.

We have not updated it because we have been busy working on about 100 projects-investigations-on managerial abuse, gross inefficiencies, and other bad management activities.
All are being done under the project name Domains of Accountability and Responsibility. The results of our investigations/expose' are submitted to the Governor and it is up to him to do something about whatever we notify him about. He is well aware of the Political implications for if he does not resolve the problems brought to his attention.

We want the Governor to focus also on the managers of state bureaucracies as part of his reform of State Government. Structural Change must be tied replacing incompetent, dishonest and ill-trained and ill-equipped managers. Also all dishonest managers should go.
Bruce and David,

We do our best to keep the identity of the members secret and also we are respected by all the managers we go after because we do not do anything behind their backs.

We are whistleblowers above ground. Actually the best metaphor for our activities is to see us as Referees. We throw the flag. And we tell you what rule you violate. It is that simple. If we are mistaken; it is our expectation that we will be informed.

Let me make it clear here that Director Dana Appling is not in violation of any government code. I have stop here and return to my GLOBAL ISSUES. And maybe later tonight I will compose the formal letter and dispatch it to Director Dana Appling.

And let me state this to you Bruce and also to David; if you are uncomfortable being cc from What Now?! and the Concerned Staff Committee, then I suggest you resign your positions f
f rom CSEA DLC 745.

I wish to indicate as Mr. Effross has that I am not a member now, nor have I ever been a member of the CSC. I am not privy to its membership or structure.

David,
You are correct. Selected stewards are informed because many of the of issues raise fall under the Dignity Clause (5.11), and Article 4.(c) of the Union Contract.

Importance: High

It has come to my attention that Mr. Fanusie's cc'ing me on Concerned Staff Committee e-mails has created the impression that I am a member of that group. I am not now nor have I ever been affiliated with CSC, and I am not even privy to its membership roster. I believe Mr. Fanusie cc's me because I am the Chief Steward and Vice President of his Union.

Without necessarily taking any position regarding the Concerned Staff Committee, I feel it is only fair and necessary to clarify any erroneous perceptions regarding my putative involvement with or support of its efforts.

Thank you.
David R. Effross

Hi Director Appling,
I am running late so I could not write the formal letter for the Concerned Staff Committee about their concerns or allegations that the two deputy directors in ORA are inappropriate appointments. you may want to look into the allegations for now before you get the formal letter from us.
