State Sunshine Collective Bargaining Proposals
For Inclusion in the Agreement with the 
California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges, and Hearing Officers in State Employment (CASE)
State Bargaining Unit 2

General
In recognition of the Governor’s proposed 2013/14 budget and the State’s fiscal deficit, the State desires to negotiate contract provisions that are fiscally responsible and that will achieve improved efficiencies within State government.  The State is especially interested in any concept that reduces employer costs or achieves fiscal savings to the State.  The State will incorporate the legislation, Assembly Bill 340, which established the Public Employee’s Pension Reform Act of 2013 into successor agreements. 
The employer recognizes that the CASE contract expires July 1, 2013 and is prepared to negotiate any and all provisions of such contract for inclusion in a successor agreement.  Further, the employer will consider any issue that is within scope for inclusion in a successor contract.
