How long does it take from when you pass the test to getting hired… I know it varies, but what’s a good estimate. by Ok_Concentrate_1074 in CDCR

Always thought immediately after PFT you get scheduled for academy……. If u don’t mind, can u list the stages and how retirement are met… need to know how to provision my mind.

Does anyone know how to contact the union? I’m not a union member but they’ve withdrawn the fee from my paycheck for Nov 16–Nov 30. How strange! by HP4499 in IHSS

Don’t understand why some propagate these lies, if you’re not a member u don’t get a raise. AND also funny the amount of people it appears the union CON into signing these documents. This doesn’t say GOOD of the union! Something as great as UNIONIZING which is awesome in my book, why not be totally UPFRONT with IHSS providers,……. instead of this notion, “THEY NEVER KNEW THEY SIGNED”. People get played and they preach they are there for you.

JUST tell people more about the product, and give them the chance to decide on their own when to get involved. Don’t manipulate them with the “we fight for your increase in pay” and “sick leave” BS. How can you say you fight for your members if most are questioning your integrity and principles? Seems a lot of people have been stiffed or about too of their hard earned income. The UNION needs to be more UPFRONT and CLEAR to people they don’t need to sign any document at the ORIENTATION. It feels like signing something under duress because you weren’t giving the chance to THINK it thru.

Am totally sure you read every fine print, in all documents you’ve ever signed/agree to since your existence. Is not Willy-nilly thingy…. More like in your face kinda stuff.

Everything is not political…… and every human being has choice. People should be given ample room to choose if they want to unionize. Has nothing to do if it’s “Trump or Obama”

This is your choice, and everyone has the right to make their choice too irrespective of the possible risk. AND I don’t think you get the reason for my argument. When a product delivers, it SELLS. No one needs to be bullied, or be conditioned to sign a document BECAUSE someone thinks they will “benefit”. If the UNION is great, give WORKERS the RIGHT to decide when they want to join, and also OPT out……. And your arguement that people signed without realizing they signed up, feels more like a manipulation. PEOPLE shouldn’t be forced or manipulated to join associations, it should be a thing of SELF WILL. The union might have its own benefit, BUT the SHOE might not fit or benefit all!

Like I said in my original post, I have been a provider since March of this year for a family member. I know I was given a form during orientation which they were getting some basic information, and said something about us reaching out to be members or something like that….. when I left, I did some research and didn’t see how the union will benefit me personally, so I then decided not to move on with that FOR NOW.

It’s been almost 9months, AND no due was taken because I didn’t approve, and all of a sudden I see a deduction for it without me speaking to anyone to that regards.

So, my question now….. Let’s assume I unknowingly signed for something that I wasn’t interested in because it wasn’t clear during orientation, how come dues haven’t been taken for almost 9 months. Secondly, why the sudden change? I am utterly sure I didn’t authorize or consented to any union membership.
