Susanville Peace Officers Association at Impasse

Tuesday, February 03, 2009

The Susanville Peace Officers Association has declared impasse after the City representatives only offered takeaways to this bargaining unit. The City is unwilling to offer any additional proposals, forcing the POA to declare impasse and request mediation. Our case has been turned over to State Mediator, Sandra Poole, who has not yet set a date to start the process.

It is interesting that health insurance that the City obtained through the Union and the POA is going to save the City approximately $189 a month per employee in 2009 over the 2008 health insurance rates.
