SCE Missed Its Own Safety Goals, Docked Its Bosses’ Bonuses, But Won’t Say Who Or How Much
Written by 991KBU on January 29, 2020
Southern California Edison admits in documents just filed with the state … that it failed to meet its own safety goals for wildfire prevention and for worker safety over the past five years.
And Southern California Edison has trimmed its executives’ paychecks as a result of them missing their own safety goals.
Just how much of a haircut not revealed … despite a new state law that requires the power company to disclose executive pay and bonuses.
Are executives getting bonuses for profits or for safety??
That’s the point of the state law.
The SCE confession is buried in a report filed by the local power company at the California Public Utilities Commission this week.
The power company discloses that it canceled all annual bonus payments to its executives last year.
But that was because of the financial impact of the Woolsey and Thomas wildfires …not because of any poor performance.
KBUU news has just obtained documents filed by the Edison company… where they admit they’ve deducted an additional 10 percent from bonuses for what it turns certain SCE officers.
Just to those people were in the dollar amount that was withheld is not revealed despite the state law that requires that be disclosed.
The company says that and we “despite many accomplishments of management in 2018 foundational safety goals were not met.
2018 is the year that southern California Edison – of course – burned down much of Malibu.
Three years safety goals were not met 2018 is the year Southern California and is of course burned down most much of Malibu
Three years ago certain Edison bosses got their bonuses trimmed by 10% because members of the public came into contact with energized … downed power wires in separate incidents.
And four years ago … a bad year that saw the deaths of four SCE employees. … Southern California Edison imposed a 10 point penalty on its safety executives.
Just how much money that was … how many executives had their paychecks trimmed … not disclosed.
The SCE admissions filed this week indicate the company knows it has performed below even its own internal safety standards … much less blow the safety standards set by the state.
At least 25 people – civilians – have been killed … and two billion dollars worth of property destroyed … by wildfires that apparently were caused by faulty SCE equipment … over the past three years.
