The Triennial event for ACSS Elections and Policy Changes
The California Primary Election is June 3, 2014 - just 2 weeks away.
Your ACSS Legislative Committee and Board of Directors has been carefully interviewing and evaluating dozens of candidates from around the state to help present a guide to the candidates who are most likely to meet our needs as state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees.
We've listed all of our endorsed candidates in one convenient location, sorted by geographical area. We'll continue to update the list through the Primary and General Elections as we endorse more candidates.
Governor Brown's revised budget includes nearly $184 million to cover a 2% raise for thousands of state employees.
The 2% "trigger-based" salary increases were dependent on the State hitting certain revenue targets. The revised budget summary for "Statewide Issues" clarifies that the revenue targets have been surpassed, triggering the raises.
We're still waiting for additional information from Finance to outline the full scope of eligible employees, so stay tuned for updates.
With California's Primary Election just three short weeks away, your ACSS is organizing efforts to improve voter turnout among state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees.

We're proud to announce that we'll be switching to a new address on the web.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be moving to ACSS.org. This won't have any impact on how you use our site (unless you enter the address manually, in which case you have fewer letters to type) and the transition should happen seamlessly.
Our email addresses will also change to @ACSS.org, so please update your address books and spam/junk filters as necessary.
Furthermore, this website will be undergoing a redesign in the coming months in order to improve your browsing experience.
We've carefully analyzed what you want when you visit us and we're going to make sure you get the information you need faster. This site will also be optimized to work just as well on your smartphone or tablet as it does on your pc.

ACSS Membership Coordinator Diane Wolff chats with a potential member at 2014's Cal Tech Picnic.
Cal Tech's annual picnic brought in roughly 800 state employees for a day of BBQ, raffles, and special thanks from elected officials.
Dozens of state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees stopped by ACSS' booth to learn more about their rights and the benefits of belonging to ACSS.
Most were pleasantly suprised to learn that our dues top out at just $36/month and that rather than relying on stewards, we provide professional legal representation for all members.
