  1. Another thot on CA furlough lawsuits. Unions have won arguing guv's furlough process, lose when they argue gov's power to furlough. So far.
  2. Interesting ... the furlough lawsuit CCPOA won Thursday in Oakland is a sharpened version of the one it lost in February in Sacramento.
  3. Events kept moving today with developments in 3 state worker furlough lawsuits. A lot to keep track of.
  4. Question for CA state wrkrs covered by SEIU L1K: What grade would you give your union?
  5. Question: Is Jerry Brown going to be the salvation of state workers if he's elected guv? Not so sure about that ...
  6. No one knows when Alameda judge will issue CA furlough ruling. Judges don't telegraph that stuff. Could b Monday, could b in Jan. Who knows?
  7. State Worker blog post set for noon illustrates how one person's ceiling is another person's floor when it comes to news. ://tiny.cc/jWjWk

  15. Weds is cutoff for state depts to report changes to payroll. What will numbers say about AWOL state workers on Columbus Day?
