Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Plan Opposed By Six City Unions Wins Backing of Council Panel
From the Los Angeles Times:
“A Los Angeles City Council panel voted Monday to let the Department of Water and Power scale back the cost of hiring away workers from other city agencies, despite objections from workers outside the DWP.
“The council’s Budget and Finance Committee unanimously recommended an end to the DWP’s practice of absorbing longtime pension costs of workers who transfer from other departments. The move is designed to resolve a lawsuit filed by representatives of the utility’s powerful union.”
