IMPLEMENTATION OF PROP. B CLEARED FOR NON-UNION HIRES

San Diego, CA: Judge Luis Vargas today clarified the ruling he handed down Tuesday to allow implementation of Proposition B to move forward for new hires not represented by the citys labor unions, which are engaged in litigation with the city over the measure. The City Attorneys Office will present an ordinance to create a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan for City Council consideration within the next few weeks. This ordinance will enable the City to hire new employees who are not represented by these labor unions without violating the terms of Proposition B, said City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. These new employees would receive a 401(k)-style defined contribution plan in accordance with the voters will. Judge Vargas ruling from Tuesday granted a temporary restraining order halting certain provisions of Prop. B until July 27.
