Tixoc I hope he does fire you. You take money from DOC staff and do nothing to help the problem. By the way where is the money that has been paid into the so called Union. In your house, your car, your off shore account, or your last couple of vacations to Las Vegas.

Spoken like a true lurker.

Not that anyone has twisted my arm--and ignoring for a moment that ridiculous show of selfishness and arrogance provided by one of the assigned leaders of the "union" a few days ago on a graves tram--but I do not recall there being a decree, directive, assignment, instruction or order, that showed AZCOPS withdrawals as mandatory. DOC staff give their money to whomever they choose; none of us are victims where membership is concerned (though some of us sure sound like we were).

I have met Tixoc, I have even worked with him on some interesting projects. To say he is against staff or to claim that he does "nothing to help the problem" is a cruel hoax and an empty accusation. The truth of the matter is, sometimes people dig themselves into a deep enough hole that there is nothing that CAN be done for them...yet they still expect the lifeline to be dropped in to them, still expect the "union" to speak on their behalf, still expect to come out smelling like roses after rolling in the hog$hit. It is beyond ridiculous.

If Mr. Munoz reads this (an I figure he does, he is well versed in most department items good and bad), know that you are respected, your work has been appreciated, and your ethics are honored. Thank you, Tixoc. You have done us all well better than we have deserved...and it shows in the day-to-day whether any of us is willing to admit it, recognize it, or accept it.

Here is my response to the person who posted anonymously and wrote a predrawn and politically saturated gossip page that reeks from envy and assasination plot. Mr. Tixoc Munoz has called me multiple times from his house, his car and his way to and from work asking to work out a solution for a correctional officer. He did not ask me to break the rules, he just asked me for consideration to see if I or my warden could in fact make the accommodation as this may have been a child care issue, a family emergency issue, a shift or rdo issue or many more that he personally took the time to resolve with many wardens and DWOP's. I admire his energy and honesty. To say those words posted are vicious and legally intruding on his character. Now, if you knew that then I suspect that is the reason you committed treason on your fellow men and women and kept your name out of the post. Carl ToersBijns, retired DWOP ASPC Eyman.. if you feel froggy, come jump down on this one and leave Tixoc alone, I know for a fact, he works hard for the membership and those who are not..

Good response Carl. I agree with you. If you want to mouth off, leave your name.

Frank Schabert, COII ASPC-Safford

Good to see you are still active Frank, I hope things are good for you, God knows what really happened but so did alot of others as they covered their arses to keep some certain people clean. Redemption will be yours and all that was done will be undone in the future. You are a good officer and don't let anyone take that away from you. I miss Safford's friendly people but the drive was killin me. I know you understand. Here is a little paragraph of what I summarized to be an issue today:
Ever since his arrival in February, 2009, Mr. Ryan has insisted on forced rotation of staff and a new disciplinary policy. In addition, he has added more frustration and more work on the backs of the correctional employees who are already multitasking too much to get things done with furloughs of essential staff and supervisors. Without internal consultation of his organizational administrators and managers, he has spent many hours with a select group of people to formulate policies in order to conduct an orchestrated effort to coerce and develop a flawed rotation system reminiscent of the Terry Stewart days and how they were manipulated to benefit a select few rather than the group as a whole. Instead of providing new opportunities for all staff assigned to a unit for longer than three years to meet new challenges and opportunities to show their skills, he forced transfers from one unit to another risking of losing your top talent while attempting to improve cross training of others but lacked the training element to make it better. Secondly, the revised disciplinary policy, designed to give the administration better control of the process and accomplish its goal of holding staff accountable for their actions by allowing administrators to decide whether the infraction alleged is a mistake or misconduct. Setting a new 120 day disciplinary cycle to avoid lengthy proceedings, he arbitrarily chose this number of days to decide whether the complaint was valid and punishable or whether it should be dismissed or referred to criminal investigations. Third and definitely not the least importance is the furloughs of essential staff required to do the job to keep things safe and orderly. The absence of furloughed staff creates more work and more stress for those who are left behind to pick up behind them and do so with much frustration as their level of training may not be equal or their number of tasks already on their backs, has now been increased by multifold without relieve in sight. These three elements = low morale = a need for change of leadership!!!!!!!
