The City of Costa Mesa issued 213 layoff notices to employees telling them that 18 services will be outsourced in six months to mostly private companies. The Orange County Employees Associate sued the city seeking an injunction.
Result
Orange County Superiour Cuort Judge Tam Nomoto Schumann enjoined the city from going forward with its outsourcing plans.
