Some months ago we told you that the Alliance of California Judges was going into hibernation. Something just woke us up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judges don\u2019t negotiate their salary increases. Our pay increases are determined by a formula set forth in Government Code section 68203. It\u2019s pretty straightforward: Our salaries are supposed to get bumped by the average of the salary increases paid to most other state workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a reason why our latest pay increases have been so puny and falling far short of the rate of inflation. The state didn\u2019t tinker with the statutory formula, but it seems to have played with the inputs. In calculating our latest pay increase, the state only factored \u201cgeneral salary increases\u201d received by other state employees, failing to take into account the \u201cspecial salary adjustments\u201d that many state workers received. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not satisfied with mere expressions of concern and dismay, Alliance director Maryanne Gilliard is taking action. Following in the footsteps of retired justice Robert Mallano, who fought long and tenaciously when we were being short-changed ten years ago on back pay and interest, Judge Gilliard is working with the law firm of Skadden Arps to get the state to come correct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll keep you posted of all new developments as the case proceeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
