About the Petition Action

Audience: Agency Secretaries and Departmental Directors
Participants: State Scientists only (members, non-members, supervisors) should sign these petitions. 
What: These new petitions call upon state agencies and departments to utilize a new process to submit requests to CalHR for pay equity and fair pay for State Scientists. Once a majority of State Scientists (greater than 50%) at each department signs each petition, they will be sent to the identified agencies and departments. Each of YOU can help reach this goal! Help make a difference in the Bargaining outcome and sign your agency/department’s petition and encourage your colleagues to sign as well! More information can be found here: https://www.votervoice.net/CAPSSCIENTISTS/Petitions 

You and your fellow scientists have a chance to speak directly to this administration. Your Bargaining Committee goes back to the table, where our goal is to share the photo petition! 

You can show this administration that you and your colleagues are united in our demand for equitable pay, and a fair contract that ends the gender pay gap for Bargaining Unit 10 by signing this photo petition. It takes about 30 seconds to sign! 

With over 1,500 fellow scientists signing the photo petition already, your participation matters in conveying our message.

Once a majority of state scientists sign, we, the Bargaining Committee, will work with the Contract Action Team (CAT) to present the petition as a photo collage to this administration to demonstrate our collective power. This action is for your salaries and your future

Already signed? Get two of your colleagues to sign the petition as well.  

Participation makes us strong, so take action now!
