加文•紐森已經簽署了有利可圖的和不合理的合同為國家監獄看守聯盟,盡管警告的無黨派立法分析師辦公室的研究,法律規定賠償的研究沒有進行。現在,加州紐森政府拉,納稅人有缺陷的研究來證明大贈品監獄看守聯盟。2019年,在分析提出合同給監獄看守聯盟提出,老撾建議立法機關,“沒有明顯的理由提出加薪。“部分,這是因為國家未能提供一個法定補償研究比較監獄看守銀聯為立法機構類似的公共和私人的員工需要考慮。最後一次這樣的報告,在2015年,使用2013年的數據,老撾指出,該報告發現,加州的監獄看守”收到總薪酬比當地政府同行高出40%。“立法忽視這些警告。2021年,巧合的州長紐森的回憶(監獄看守聯盟傾倒無數為他辯護),立法機關再次提醒補償研究的必要性。再次,立法機關忽視警告,從老撾和絕大多數批準了一項利潤豐厚的新合同監獄看守。2022年1月,加州政府組織管理好發布自己的補償研究加州監獄看守。他們的結論?“使用統計方法來控製不同的教育,經驗,和其他人口因素,加州懲教人員工資比全國平均水平高出約55%懲教人員工資(包括加州平均)和比其他國家高出57%,“他們發現。 California’s prison guards also benefit from generous pension and retiree healthcare benefits, which exceed national norms. This is overall consistent with the state’s compensation study using 2013 data. And yet, in April of this year, the state finally generated a compensation study, which compared prison guard pay to the pay of deputy sheriffs in counties like Los Angeles and Orange. As you might expect, deputy sheriffs make more than prison guards, giving the prison guard union ammunition and the Legislature cover, if they take it, to give the prison guard union lavish raises. What happened here? Well, as the LAO last month, the Newsom administration decided to use a different methodology from past compensation studies. “This methodology was crafted through negotiations between the administration and the union,” the LAO notes. In a statement to this editorial board, Govern for California criticized the study, calling it “wholly inadequate because it compares unequal occupations.” Govern for California has called on the California Legislature “to hold the line in the next contract, which will come into effect upon the expiration of the current contract on July 2” of this year. We echo this call from Govern for California. The California Legislature must not fall for the cynical games played by Gov. Newsom and the prison guard union.
