Ruth Tyson

My name is Ruth Tyson. I am a Supervising Deputy Probation Officer with over 19 years of County service. As the 2^nd Vice President of Local 702 and as a long-standing active union member, I have most recently worked to increase the pay and benefits of Probation Supervisors. My role and experience in the union includes the following:

2^nd Vice President
Bargaining Policy Committee Board Member

I have the experience and track record of working on behalf of and and in the interest of Probation Supervisors. With my experience, I am well qualified to represent County employees on the Local 702 and I am steadfastly committed to protecting our MOU. I have a BS in Healthcare Management and Master of Science in Counseling. I am a License Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT). I have always supported the cause of my peers. Most recently, I along with the Local 702 Board assisted with securing the 2019 contract, in which we were able to secure a 10.75% overall raise, 2% educational bonus for Supervising Detention Service Officers, and a host of other contractual benefits. I look forward to continuing to represent and support our members in the future.

Thank you

Institutions Vice President

Roderick Cotton

I have been a Supervising Detention Services Officer for the past fourteen years. I have worked at both Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall and Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall. I am currently serving on the Executive Board as Vice President of Institutions for SEIU 721 – Bargaining Unit 702, the Association of Probation Supervisors. Prior to that I served as Shop Steward at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall. I promise to continue to serve you faithfully as Vice President of Institutions. With your support, I will continue to do so. As are all members of our executive board, I am proud in our continuing efforts to obtain the strongest contract language to protect my brothers and sisters in Detention. Our longevity is now recognized with both incentive bonuses and a fifth week of vacation. Educational bonuses are now available for those obtaining their BA and MA degrees. For those that know me know that my serving is a calling. It is not about me and not about any personal gains beyond the satisfaction of helping others. The members of this Union come first and by your vote I will be allowed to continue to serve you!

Vice President-Juvenile Camps

Alfred Burruel

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Vice President for RTSB. I have had an extensive career where I started in RTSB as a DPO II, then returned as a SDPO for the past 2 ½ years. I have worked in various positions throughout my career that has afforded me opportunities to see the strengths within the department as well as deficiencies that continue to linger. Times have certainly changed on how this department functions. Emphasis has been placed more on those we serve, and less on those who are doing the serving. It’s time that we had a voice in that arena, and I plan to be that voice of your Vice President. With the recent challenges that have been presented to us, it has fueled a drive in me to not sit idly by and expect others to defend our rights and advocate for what is right, but to take a proactive stance and be an agent for change. I will work tirelessly to end unwarranted and needless restrictions in our profession so that we can continue to lead those that we supervise. Thank you for this opportunity
