SACRAMENTO – On May 1, 2024, two California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) attorneys conducted a site representation classes for CSLEA members via video conference.  Nineteen members were in attendance.

Senior Counsels Jim Vitko and Andrea Perez presented the instruction over the course of two hours.   The class is for those interested in becoming a site rep at their job site or just wanting to learn more about CSLEA and their rights as an employee for the State of California.

 “It’s great to see so many of our members looking for ways to become more involved with helping their colleagues, settling disputes with their supervisors and understanding the role CSLEA has in their careers,” said Perez.  “Jim Vitko and I discussed the basic functions of CSLEA, the contract, grievances and how issues are resolved.”

The members in attendance work at CDFW, CALFIRE, DCA, CHP, DOJ, MBC, FTB, DSH, CDPH, DCC, ABC and Lottery.

Some of the instruction included:

the structure of CSLEA and its 18 affiliates,
the grievance process
the right to have a representative
the CSLEA website and mobile app
how to update contact information and
where to find the CSLEA Know Your Rights videos.

The next site representation class is considered full and is scheduled for May 8, 2024.
