On July 1, the Governor issued an Executive Order to add a
third furlough day per month for state employees. PECG's lawsuit
challenging the first two days of furlough is going through the process
(currently written briefs or arguments are being submitted by both
sides) before it is heard by the Court of Appeal. PECG's grievance
alleging that the furloughs also violate the provisions of the Unit 9
MOU which are still currently in effect should be in arbitration, but
DPA is resisting participating in that mandatory process, so it appears
it will be necessary to go to court to force them to do so. PECG
has also filed a grievance, challenging the Governor's new
Executive Order.
