Welcome Supervisors & Managers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Please see below the frequently asked questions for Supervisors and Managers in CASE Unit 2:
No! It’s a common misconception that supervisors or managers lose the benefit of CASE membership upon promotion – but that’s just not true. CASE is the recognized excluded employee organization for all state employees in S02 (supervisory) and M02 (managerial) positions.
As the recognized excluded employee organization for S02 and M02 classes, CASE is able to meet and confer with the State regarding salaries and benefits and other terms and conditions of your employment. There is no MOU, and no bargaining, but CASE is still able to advocate to improve and protect your salary and benefits, and to aggressively represent your interests in every forum where your employment and professional interests are at stake.
You know the adage: a rising tide lifts all boats. Raises secured in the negotiation of the Bargaining Unit 2 MOU lay the foundation for increases to supervisor and manager pay as well. Aside from adding to CASE’s strength in numbers, as a supervisor or manager, you may face additional workplace risk of complaints or investigations and are held to even higher standards than your direct reports. CASE’s expert representation is there to answer questions and provide representation if the need arises. Not to mention, supervisors’ and managers’ work is made easier by having happy, valued rank-and-file employees who turn out the best work, remain in their positions for a long time, and help make California a safer, healthier, better place to live.

In 1990, the Bill of Rights for State Excluded Employees gave “state supervisory, managerial, confidential, and employees otherwise excepted from coverage” under the Dills Act the right to join organizations that will represent them in their employment relationship with the state.
The law gives you the right to join and participate in CASE activities for the purpose of representation on all matters of supervisory employer-employee relations.
