State workers will be taking two days off a month without pay after a judge sides with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
A Sacramento County judge ruled Schwarzenegger had the authority to put furloughs in place.
State employee unions call the decision “devastating.”
my sister-in-law’s husband worked for the Canadian Government for years. He was given one month (of his choice) ‘off’ without pay every year. It was routine, and they budgeted for it, even planning their vacations to the States so that they would take his annual leave in conjunction with that month so they had a nice long vacation.
welcome to the real world, state employees. It’s about time you dealt with what the rest of us do……
The California governor didn’t have much choice since he has a multi-billion cash shortage that isn’t going away too soon; if ever.
I read the other day that the CA State Comptroller was refusing to honor the furlough. Any update on that?
