MEMBER  REMINDER
If you are called into a meeting which you believe may lead to a disciplinary action or evolve into an investigatory interview about any incident in your work place contact CEMA (408) 289-9691. Several situations have occurred and we want our members to be mindful of their right to have CEMA representation.

Supervisor/Manager Training
There has been an increase in difficult situations that CEMA members have faced while performing typical duties as a supervisor. We are seeing a different set of problems that have resulted in our members feeling caught in the middle, with upper management failing to support us. The Court will be offering a training provided by the County of Santa Clara Employee Assistance Program that is designed to build skills for addressing stressful, difficult workplace issues. You will be hearing more about this as the dates are finalized. CEMA urges members to participate
