Temporary restraining order sought to block furloughs
for non-General Fund departments

TRO for furloughsLocal 1000's legal team will be in Superior Court next Monday seeking to immediately block Gov. Schwarzenegger's latest furlough order. Our attorneys will be asking Judge Steven Brick to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) to block furloughs, which are set to begin again on Fri., Aug. 13.
Local 1000's move to have the court issue a TRO is in addition to our filing that will amend the lawsuit in which we successfully challenged furloughs in non-General Fund state agencies. The governor has appealed our furlough victory to the California Supreme Court.

Our attorneys are also looking for members who can provide the court with a description of how they and/or their families will be harmed by the governor's new furlough order. Your declaration will be used to support our attorneys' new legal challenges to the governor's order.
