Service Employees International Union, Local 1000 v. Schwarzenegger
This litigation was initiated by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and a number of SEIU members on behalf of nine bargaining units of employees of the State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund) against the Governor and the Director of the Department of Personnel Administration (Director). The object of the litigation was to halt the mandatory imposition of furlough on State Fund employees for two days per month in accordance with the Governors Executive Order S-16-08. Janet Frank, the President of the State Fund, was originally named as a defendant by SEIU, but she subsequently filed a cross-complaint for the same relief as against the Governors Executive Order S-13-09, which mandated a third furlough day per month.
