Their competence, their\nsense of responsibility and their ability to get the job done has\nattracted the envy and admiration of the nation.\n\"Frequently, at meetings with leaders from other states and\nthe national government, I am asked 'what is California's secret?'\n\"There is no secret, it is simply a matter of cooperation\nbetween management and the employee. It is the ability to recognize\nindividual problems and sit down and work them out at the local level.\n\"I have just come from a meeting with representatives of\nthe California State Employees Association at which I signed an\nexecutive order that will strengthen this spirit of cooperation and\nmutual understanding.\n\"This order will, for the first time in state government,\nprovide a means for representatives of the state employees organization\nto meet with a representative of the Governor's Office on general\nsalary adjustments as well as employee benefits.\n\"It calls upon managers and supervisors to develop a\npositive climate for employee relations within their organizations,\nincluding communications, fair and equitable treatment of employees\nand their representatives.\n\"It strengthens the present grievance procedure by allowing\nthe agency secretary to become involved in those grievances which\nwarrant his attention.\n\"Under this order, Secretary Earl Coke of Agriculture and\nServices, will represent me in meeting and conferring in good faith\nwith employee representatives on matters relating to salary adjustments\nand benefits.\n\"Understandings reached during these sessions will be\nincluded as part of my budget or as proposed legislation.\n\"I would now like to introduce Secretary Coke, who will\nexplain the new policy in more detail and answer your questions.\"\n######\nWAS\nState of California\nMemorandum\nTo\n: AGENCY SECRETARIES, DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS,\nDate : February 23, 1971\nAND EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS\nSubject: Policy on State\nEmployer-Employee Relations\nFrom : Governor's Office\n71-3\nAs both a citizen and Chief Executive of the State of California, I am\ngratified at the excellent reputation state employees have earned for\nthemselves. The competence and sense of responsibility of California\nState employees are widely recognized.\nA major factor in the high performance level of state employees is the\nrelationship that exists between management and the employee. Cooper-\nation is good among management, employees, and employee representatives\nin recognizing individual problems and resolving them at the lowest\npossible level. As a result, we have an atmosphere of cooperation rather\nthan conflict.\nTo enhance this cooperative relationship, it is my desire to initiate a\nprocedure whereby a representative of the Governor will meet and confer\nwith employee organization representatives concerning salaries and\nemployee benefits on a more formal basis than has existed in the past.\nI am issuing an Executive Order to initiate and implement such a proce-\ndure within the limits of current law and state organizational structure.\nIt is my hope that the attached policy will result in a strengthening\nof employee relations in state government and a higher level of under-\nstanding by providing for full communication between representatives of\nthe state and employee organizations on matters of mutual interest.\nI firmly support all efforts to assure that employees receive fair and\nprompt consideration of their legitimate complaints.\nThe Executive Order and the attached policy amplifies the responsibility\nof departmental managers for creating a positive employee relations climate\nAs a part of this improved effort, each department should have well\nadministered grievance procedures. Effective communications and prompt\nresolution of individual employee grievances contribute to a more satis-\nfactory work environment.\nPlease post the attached document to insure that all personnel in your\ndepartment are aware of this new policy.\nSincerely,\nRonald RONALD REAGAN Reagan\nGovernor\nDISTRIBUTION: ABCDMM\nGOVERNOR'S POLICY ON STATE EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS\nBy virtue of the authority vested in me as Governor of the State of California,\nI hereby proclaim the following Policy on State Employer-Employee Relations\nto be the official policy of the Executive Department of the State of California\napplicable to state civil service employees and nonacademic employees of\nthe state colleges and University of California.\nDeclaration of Policy\nIt is the purpose of this Policy:\n1. To strengthen employer-employee relations, to promote\ncooperative relationships, and to achieve mutual under-\nstandings by providing for full communication between\nrepresentatives of the state and employee organizations\non matters of mutual interest which affect employer-\nemployee relations; and\n2.\nTo enhance the general effectiveness of each departmental\ngrievance procedure as a means of identifying and resolving\nindividual employee complaints within the discretion of\ndepartmental management.\nIt is not the intent of the Policy to modify in any way the role of the\nState Personnel Board in annually reporting to the Governor and the\nLegislature on the status of state employees' salaries and benefits.\nNor is it intended to alter the relationship between the Personnel\nBoard and employee organizations which represent their members in\nthe board's annual salary review and recommendation process.\nMeet-and-Confer Relationship\nA representative of the Governor will meet and confer in good faith with\nrepresentatives of employee organizations to arrive, if possible, at a\nmutual understanding on the following matters: (1) the need for and\namount of a general salary adjustment; (2) the total amount of any\nspecial inequity salary adjustments; and (3) general employee benefits.\n-2-\nIn meeting and conferring with employee organization representatives,\nthe Governor's representative will be the Secretary, Agriculture and\nServices Agency, or his designee. He will be provided staff support\nservices from other organizations, as needed.\nTo meet and confer in good faith connotes an open and mutually trusting\napproach in exchanging views and discussing alternatives. It also connotes\na genuine effort on the part of both parties to attempt to reach a mutual\nunderstanding.\nMatters excluded from this meet-and-confer in good faith relationship\ninclude working conditions; merit system and related matters such as the\nexamination, selection, recruitment, hiring, appraisal, training, reten-\ntion, promotion, assignment, disciplining or transfer of employees;\ndirecting, deploying, and utilizing the work force; classification plan\nand salary determination for individual classes; mission, purposes,\nobjectives, and organization of the State; and facilities, methods, means,\nand number of personnel required to conduct state programs.\nThe appropriate appointing power will consult upon request with employee\norganization representatives in order to exchange information and views\non salary matters and employee benefits limited to a particular organiza-\ntional, occupational, professional, or other specific grouping of\nemployees. The purpose of this consultation is solely to exchange\nviews and discuss alternatives.\nThe Governor's representative will meet and confer in good faith upon\nrequest with official representatives of any employee organization which\nhas complied with State Personnel Board rules on employer-employee\nrelations. The amount of time and degree of effort expended to achieve\na mutual understanding by the Governor's representative in meeting and\nconferring with employee representatives will be commensurate with the\nnumber of members and the diversity of membership of the employee\norganization involved.\nA state employee who is an official representative of an employee\norganization may use a reasonable amount of state time, as determined\nby his appointing power, without loss of compensation or other benefits\nfor formally meeting and conferring with the Governor's representative\non matters within the scope of representation.\n-3-\nMutual Understandings\nIf, as a result of meeting and conferring in good faith, the Governor's\nrepresentative and employee organization representatives achieve a\nmutual understanding, a written memorandum of understanding shall\nbe prepared. The Governor's representative shall present the memorandum\nof understanding for final approval by the Cabinet before signing the\nmemorandum. Similarly, the employee organization representatives will\nprovide appropriate assurance that the memorandum reflects the views\nof the organization's membership before signing the memorandum. As\nappropriate, matters included in these approved and signed memoranda\nshall be submitted to the Legislature either as part of the Governor's\nbudget or as recommended legislation. The Governor will support before\nthe Legislature those matters which have been recommended for adoption\nas a result of the memoranda of understanding.\nIf, after meeting and conferring in good faith, the Governor's representa-\ntive and the employee organization representatives are unable to achieve\na mutual understanding, the Governor's representative shall prepare a\nmemorandum describing the areas and extent of difference between his\nposition and that of the employee organization representatives. Such\nmemoranda will be made available to interested groups and individuals.\nDepartmental Employer-Employee Relations\nAs a part of the general effort to enhance the employer-employee relations\nprocess in state service, every departmental director and all subordinate\nmanagers are encouraged to provide a favorable climate for effective\nemployee representation within their particular organization. This entails\na continuation of past practices as well as renewed efforts to facilitate\nand give meaning to the meet-and-confer process at all levels throughout\neach department. Managers must recognize that they are the focal point\nfor effective employer-employee relations within the department. Managers\nmust be alert to employee relations problems and seek a satisfactory solu-\ntion which reflects the needs of the public, the employees, and the state.\nAs the immediate representative of management, the supervisor has a\nsignificant responsibility for employee relations in the day-by-day\noperations of the organization. It is this relationship between the super-\nvisor and employee which is basic to the attainment of an overall suitable\nworking climate. A supervisor's effectiveness in communicating with\nemployees, in providing fair and equitable treatment to employees and\ntheir representatives, in establishing suitable working conditions, and\n-4-\nin recognizing and attempting to resolve employee complaints will make\na positive contribution to maintaining good employee relations in his\norganization. Good employee relations make a significant contribution\nto employee job satisfaction and morale.\nConcomitant with department management's accountability for employee\nrelations is the responsibility for training of supervisory staff in this\nspecific area. Departments should provide training for their supervisory\nstaff on such subjects as interpersonal communication, motivation, leader-\nship, and similar human relations skills as well as in the rights and\nobligations of management, employees, and employee organizations under\napplicable employer-employee relations law and rules.\nGRIEVANCE PROCEDURE\nFor state civil service employees, formalized grievance procedures\nexist as a means of resolving problems which arise in the work situation.\nSupervisors and managers should view grievances, not as an irritant,\nbut as an opportunity to deal with a complaint, real or imagined, of an\nemployee. Moreover, grievances should be resolved at the lowest\nfeasible level in the department and in the most expeditious manner\npossible.\nFor certain types of grievances, even though the employee elects to\nuse the departmental grievance procedure and the appointing power\ndenies the grievance, the employee currently has a right of appeal\nto the State Personnel Board. Illustrative of these appealable grievances\nare: position classification; layoff procedure; merit salary adjustment\ndenial; sick leave denial; performance appraisal; and transfer.\nFor other types of grievances, the appointing power is currently the\nfinal level of review. Essentially, these are grievances over working\nconditions and related matters within the appointing power's discretion.\nIn order to strengthen the grievance resolution process, a level of review\nbeyond the appointing power is warranted under certain conditions.\nThis extradepartmental level of review will provide an independent\nreview of the grievance, including a new assessment of the facts, as\nappropriate, of the particular situation. Accordingly, an employee who\nis not satisfied with the decision on his grievance by his appointing\npower may, within ten days after receiving such decision, request in\n-5-\nwriting that the appropriate agency secretary review and act on his\ngrievance. After reviewing the nature of the grievance, the agency\nsecretary will determine if he should accept and decide the grievance.\nIf he does not accept the grievance, he will so advise the employee\nin writing. In such case, the decision of the appointing power is final.\nIf the agency secretary accepts the grievance he will issue a written\ndecision within 20 days of receipt of such grievance.\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN.\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-1-71\n#93\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appointed three new members\nand reappointed two other members to four-year-terms on the board\nof the 48th District Agricultural Association (Great Western Exhibit\nCenter, Los Angeles).\nAlbert\nThe new members are Arthur C.

I am confident that this will not happen, and\nthat most counties will be able to effect actual savings if the entire\nprogram is adopted,\" he said.\nGovernor Reagan warned that the present welfare system-- which he\ncalled \"a $3 billion moral and administrative disaster\" is following\n\"a road that can only lead to bankruptcy, unless we have the courage\nto turn in another direction before it is too late.\n\"Now is the time, perhaps our last chance, to define goals and\nassign purposes of our own to this aimless, goal-less federal program.\"\n-1-\n#100\nHe told the legislators, \"more than ever before the people want\nwelfare reformed, and they have a right to expect us to do it.\"\nThe governor said his program will accomplish a two-fold purpose:\n\"First, we must reduce the welfare growth rate by changes in eligibil-\nity determination and by a work and training program to move people\ninto private sector jobs. Second, we must close all possible loopholes\nthat lead to abuse.\"\nHe noted that today some 2.4 million Californians already are\nreceiving welfare and Medi-Cal benefits and warned that \"if present\nlaws and regulations are not changed, California's welfare rolls could\nswell by as much as 600,000 by July, 1972 raising the total welfare\npopulation to 3 million persons.\n\"This would mean that one in every seven Californians would then\nbe on public assistance.\n\"The numbers are especially staggering,\" he said, \"when you\nconsider that only 10 years ago the total welfare caseload in\nCalifornia amounted to only 620,000.\n\"In addition to slowing the growth of welfare and Medi-Cal\ndramatically, the reform program I am proposing will save at least\n$600 million in total federal, state and county expenditures for public\nassistance during fiscal 1971-72,\" he said.\nThe governor pointed out that \"if the present unrealistic and\ninequitable laws and regulations covering California's welfare system\nwere allowed to continue unchanged, based on current caseloads and\ncosts, the state's share of welfare would have to be $898 million\nduring the coming fiscal year.\"\nHe noted that the budget he has submitted for 1971-72 provides\napproximately $677 million in general fund support for this purpose.\n\"Clearly, if the legislature does not act on welfare reform, our\npeople will face increased taxes---not only this year, but on into the\nfuture, year after year after year.\"\nHe said that in addition to meeting the primary human goals of his\nprogram, the welfare reforms he is proposing also \"will save\n$220 million in the general fund and will enable the state to operate\nwithin the amount of funds budgeted for this purpose during 1971-72.\"\n# # #\n-2-\nEJG\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nSacramento, California\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-3-71\n#101\nDuring the question and answer portion of this morning's press\nbriefing on welfare-Medi-Cal reform, Human Relations Secretary made\na statement in error that potential absent parents' contributions\nwere not included in savings estimates.\nHere is the correct statement:\nWe have included in the welfare reform package an estimate of\nincreased absent parent contributions that will return $15 million to\nthe counties, $5 million to the state, and $20 million to the federal\ngovernment.

Many\nof its provisions follow the basic lines of the governor's tax reform\nprogram last year which passed the Assembly overwhelmingly, but failed\nin the Senate by a single vote.\n\"The governor has pledged on numerous occasions to work closely\nwith the Democratic leadership in a bipartisan effort to accomplish\nsignificant and meaningful property tax relief during the coming year.\nRepresentatives of the Department of Finance have had many discussions\nwith Assemblyman Gonsalves over the past several months in line with\nthe governor's commitment to such a bipartisan effort.\n\"We were very disturbed, therefore, to learn that the Democrats\ndecided to act unilaterally in presenting a plan which ignores the\nconstructive, bipartisan approach the governor has sought so diligently.\n\"Certainly, Assemblyman Gonsalves cannot be serious in describing\nthe plan presented by the Democratic leadership today as 'the first\nmeaningful, lasting fulfillment of a promise of relief to property\ntaxpayers and renters\nThe fact is, the governor's tax reform\nprogram of last year would be on the books today had a single bedridden\na\nsenator been able to cast/vote, or been given a courtesy vote.\n\"Unfortunately, the plan unveiled by the Assembly Democratic\nleadership to would require a massive increase in overall state spending--\namounting/hundreds of millions of dollars--which could only be financed\nby a huge tax increase on the people.\n\"It is extremely disappointing to us that the authors chose not\nonly to ignore this bipartisan approach, but, even worse, they are now\nattempting to disguise the additional tax burden their plan would impose\non the people as 'property tax relief.'\n\"Tax reform is not, and must not become, an issue to be seized upon\nas a convenient camouflage for vastly increased state spending. To\nattempt to cover up such a gigantic tax increase--by calling it 'tax\nreform' is simply not acceptable--neither to this administration nor\nto the citizens of California who want straightforward answers to the\nproblem.\n\"We again call upon the Assembly Democratic leadership to work with\nus in a constructive, bipartisan effort to achieve, once and for all,\nresponsible tax reform and genuine tax relief for our people.\"\n-0-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERN\nRELEASE:\nImmediate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-26-71\n#167\nGovernor Ronald Reagan has announced the appointment of\nDr. Richard C.
