Your negotiations team has began barganing training and will be represented this year by attorney Dan Thompson of Goyette & Associates.

 

For the past several decades we have used the same labor representative to handle RPOA negotiations. The Board has decided to try a different tactic for 2017 negotiations with the City of Redding.

​

Negotiations officially began February 1st, 2017.

Our current contract expired in June 2017.

​

 

Below you will find a list of negotiable items that the Membership has suggested the Negotiation Team present during the upcoming negotiations with the City (listed in no particular priority); 

 

• Uniform Allowance Increase

• City contribution toward Vantage Care

• Separate POST Certificates and education incentives, along with adding incentives for both advanced education degrees, Instructor Certifications and Master Officer Incentive Program

• City contribution to VantageCare

• Fitness incentive

• Holiday Compensation 

• Increase in vacation accrual rate 

• On-call pay 

• Increase base pay (not priority but on table)

• Increase in current incentives

• Longevity Pay

​

Additionally, a review of the current MOU language will be conducted in order to alleviate ambiguous verbiage within the contract. 

​

Thank you,

RPOA Board of Directors
