In April of this year, it became abundantly clear to Cal Academy Workers United (CAWU) that CAS management does not intend to do everything in their power to offset, prevent, or reduce the impact of staff layoffs. We therefore felt compelled to reach out to you directly and implore you to reject any budget proposal containing involuntary staff layoffs and encourage CAS management to change course on their approach to resolving the budget for FY25.

For more context, management has largely balked at their staff’s ideas for meaningful budget balancing, instead prioritizing so-called ‘humane’ voluntary layoffs and threatening us with involuntary layoffs before considering reductions to inflated executive pay, freezing aggressive hiring of highly paid positions, or other avenues of budget balancing. 

Executive pay, including eye-popping bonuses for top-earners, have ballooned from 5% of the labor budget to 10% since 2007, according to publicly available tax records. It is egregious and disingenuous to tell staff that cutting executive pay would “not yield meaningful savings.” 

Additionally, we are puzzled that we are being told that CAS’ human resources department staffing is a priority. Since our unionization, they have posted with intention to hire for 11 new roles totaling nearly $2 million in labor costs—despite the fact that we are being told we must also eliminate $4 million of labor expenses from the forthcoming FY25 budget. We are being told these HR roles were “budgeted for.” Does that mean that the rest of CAS staff were not?

Given the above and the continued lack of transparency into what management intends to do beyond layoffs, we can come to no other conclusion other than: California Academy of Sciences only ever had the intention of using layoffs to balance the budget. We unequivocally reject this as a meaningful solution. We call on the finance committee to reject any proposal that includes involuntary staff layoffs. 

今年四月，加州科學院工人聯合會（CAWU）了解加州科學院管理層並不打算盡其所能壓抑、預防或減少裁員的影響。因此，我們不得不直接與您聯繫，懇請您拒絕任何包含非自願裁員的預算提案，並鼓勵學院管理層重新考慮及改變其2025 財年預算問題的現行方案。

管理層拒絕員工所提出的預算平衡建議，獨斷推行所謂的 ”較為人道” 的自願離職計劃。 並在考慮削減高管薪酬、凍結高薪職位招聘或其他預算平衡途徑之前，以非自願裁員來威脅我們。

根據公開的稅務記錄，自 2007 年以來，高階主管薪酬，包括高收工者令人瞠目的花紅獎金，從整體員工薪酬預算的 ​​5%激增至 10%。學院告訴員工削減高階主管薪酬 "不會幫助削減赤字"，這種說法實屬虛偽。

此外，我們不明白學院為何給予人力資源(HR)部門招聘員工的優先權。自工會成立以來，他們已經公佈了11 個新職位的招聘意向，總計將近200 萬美元的人工成本。一方面學院說要從的2025財政年度中削減400 萬美元的工資支出，另一方面又說這些人力資源職位是屬已"納入預算內"的支出。難道學院其他工作人員的工資則沒有被預算在內嗎？

鑑於上述情況，以及管理階層對裁員之外的建議方案仍然缺乏透明度，我們只能得出以下結論： 加州科學院只打算通過裁員來平衡預算。我們堅決拒絕接受這方案。我們呼籲財務委員會拒絕任何包括非自願裁員的提案。

En abril de este año, quedó muy claro para Cal Academy Workers United (CAWU) que la administración de CAS no tiene la intención de hacer todo lo que esté a su alcance para compensar, prevenir o reducir el impacto de los despidos de personal. Por lo tanto, nos sentimos obligados a comunicarnos con usted directamente e implorarle que rechace cualquier propuesta de presupuesto que contenga despidos involuntarios de personal y alentar a la administración de CAS a cambiar el rumbo en su enfoque para resolver el presupuesto para el año fiscal 25.

Para mayor contexto, la administración se ha opuesto en gran medida a las ideas de su personal sobre un equilibrio presupuestario significativo, priorizando en lugar de ello los llamados despidos voluntarios "humanitarios" y amenazándonos con despidos involuntarios antes de considerar reducciones a los salarios inflados de los ejecutivos, congelar la contratación agresiva de puestos altamente remunerados, o otras vías de equilibrio presupuestario.

Los salarios de los ejecutivos, incluidas las sorprendentes bonificaciones para los que más ganan, se han disparado del 5% del presupuesto laboral al 10% desde 2007, según registros fiscales disponibles públicamente. Es atroz y falso decirle al personal que recortar el salario de los ejecutivos “no generaría ahorros significativos”.

Además, nos sorprende que nos digan que la dotación de personal del departamento de recursos humanos de CAS es una prioridad. Desde nuestra sindicalización, han publicado con la intención de contratar para 11 nuevos roles por un total de casi $2 millones en costos laborales, a pesar de que nos dicen que también debemos eliminar $4 millones de gastos laborales del próximo presupuesto para el año fiscal 25. Nos dicen que estos roles de RR.HH. estaban “presupuestados”. ¿Eso significa que el resto del personal del CAS no lo fue?

Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior y la continua falta de transparencia sobre lo que la dirección pretende hacer más allá de los despidos, no podemos llegar a otra conclusión que la de que la Academia de Ciencias de California sólo tuvo la intención de utilizar los despidos para equilibrar el presupuesto. Rechazamos inequívocamente que esto sea una solución significativa. Hacemos un llamado a la comisión de finanzas para que rechace cualquier propuesta que incluya despidos involuntarios de personal.
