#1 Yup, the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn. (prison guard union) is one of the strongest and politically connected public unions in California.

#2 Tipper that was a good find. Around here Federal Corrections are the best. The work is not for everyone. Usually irregular shift work, Fewer officers per inmate. Then the high divorce rate.
The strong union could address some of those issues. Many of the inmates have it better on the inside than they ever had it outside. Corrections rely on high tech more and more. Then for inmates to survive you got to stay with you own kind. No rehab so recidivism rates have to be very high.

#3 Even in California recent polls are showing the voters are willing to take on the unions, although the [politicians aren't close to that point. Nonetheless, in the end no unionized government job is going to have anything near the pay and perks they do now.
