1,200 Teamsters show SBCo. BOS they mean business

San Bernardino County leaders scoffed at the idea that the county’s general employees have had enough of pay and benefit cuts so much so that they would take a few hours out of a weekend morning to attend a union rally. They were expecting a low turnout. They were wrong. More than 1,200 Teamsters showed for the event, which featured presentations by San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos and California State Treasurer John Chiang.

Historically, employees in the county’s general units have rolled over and taken whatever pay reductions San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors deemed necessary. Attendance at union-sponsored events was often light. But after years of pay cuts, earlier this year the general employees voted to affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and were excited to show their support of their new union on Saturday.

The Teamsters promises a different way of dealing with the board of supervisors. Saturday’s rally was the first public display of how things will change. It was meant to set the tone for an economic reopener scheduled next month. Employees were quick to show their enthusiasm.

California’s legislators returned to work in Sacramento on Monday, poised for the battle to get their legislation approved before the 2015-16 session ends on Sept. 11.

They’ve got their work cut out for them, as they push for success. But even small changes can pack a lot of punch for a lawmaker’s constituents, one expert said.

It’s important to not just look at a legislator’s batting average, according to Claremont McKenna College political science professor Jack Pitney.

“If you’re running in a red district and you promise to cut state spending by 20 percent, not going to happen,” he said. “But if you make a small change in the law, that means a great deal to, say, local farmers, then that’s a great deal for those local farmers.”

Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, has introduced 24 items this legislative session, five of which have been signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, as of midday on Monday. Those five include Assembly Bill 249 on legal appeals fees; AB 250 on rules regarding marriage and family therapist interns and trainees; AB 868, updating the rules regarding CalPERS pension contracts; Assembly Concurrent Resolution 21, designating a portion of state Route 18 as Rim of the World Veterans Memorial Highway; and Assembly Concurrent Resolution 25, declaring March 14, 2015 to be Pi Day.
