TAKE ACTION TO SUPPORT CAPS SPONSORED BILL AB1677!
This week, AB 1677, which would require the UC Berkeley Labor Center to perform an impartial study to examine the existing State Scientist salary structure, evaluate historical salary relationships with other state employees performing substantially similar work, and provide recommendations for alternate salary models for rank-and-file State Scientists, will be heard. We need YOU to advocate to your State Senator, as their constituent, to vote FOR AB1677 (McKinnor) when it is on the floor.
Uncompetitive state scientist salaries are threatening California’s vital public health, environmental, food safety, and other critical programs because state agencies cannot keep or recruit skilled scientific professionals. AB1677 will help the State and all decisionmakers better understand and address this problem.
CAPS recommends that you abide by departmental policy and take this action on your personal computers, using your personal information (email and address) to ensure your participation is sent to the legislator for whom you are a constituent.
