Contra Costa County 651 Pine Street Martinez, California 94553 RE: This Petition to Represent Certain Sworn Management Classifications in the Sheriff's Department Dear Mr. Heyne: Please consider this a request for formal recognition as a majority representative pursuant to Section 34-12 . 002 of Board Resolution No. 81/1165. This Petition is filed on behalf of my client, the Contra Costa County Deputy Sheriffs' Association (DSA) . The DSA is already a recognized employee organization with the County, under Section 34-10. 002 . You already have the information concerning the DSA, said information having previously been filed under Section 34-10. 004 . The organization continues to have no restriction on membership based on race, color, creed, national origin, sex, age or physical impairment. The classifications we wish to represent are those sworn command level employees of the Sheriff, consisting of Lieutenant, Captain, and Assistant Sheriff. The bargaining unit would consist of all three such classifications. Our proof of employee approval is payroll dues deduction evidence, which would reveal that over two-thirds of the employees in question are members of the DSA. Enclosed herewith is a copy of a certification by the County Auditor-Controller showing such proof of employee approval. In a very real sense, you can consider- this Petition a follow-up to the informal recognition request having been served by a group of Contra Costa County Sheriff-sworn (peace officer) management employees upon you on or about April 9, 1993 . You will have noted from that petition that the management employees in question denominated the DSA as the representative of its choice. CARROLL,BURDICK &McDONOUGH Richard Heyne, Employee Relations Officer June 22, 1993 Page 2 Please respond to the undersigned if you agree that the proposed bargaining unit is appropriate. If you would like to omit a class from the proposed bargaining unit, and you would otherwise find that unit to be appropriate, with that omission, please let me know immediately. We might be willing to amend our Petition to respond to such a concern. Because of the overwhelming number of people in the unit who are members of the DSA, I think you will agree with me that no election is necessary. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest possible convenience.
