R&R 5.17.1 Contract Implementation Introduction to Application
Recruitment and Retention (R&R) Committee Article 5.17.1 is a victorious win for SEIU Local 1000 represented in Unit 1. The purpose of the language is to provide an avenue for the State and the Union to jointly come to a consensus on recruitment and retention issues that are impacting a classification and to jointly create a report. The language allows for 10 classifications to be discussed per calendar year. The goal of the report is for the 10 classifications to have a joint review and outline of the identified R&R issue to identify and discuss the possible solutions, both short and long term. The report is given/sent to the Director of Cal HR. The director of Cal HR will then determine the next steps for a particular classification.
