This NOT about the LA DA Steve Colley trying to quash a union.
This is about who controls the District Attorneys off, the elected DA or a special interest organization--the union?
"The battle is playing out in a federal lawsuit filed last fall by the prosecutors union and in more than a dozen unfair labor practice complaints before the county Employee Relations Commission.
The fight centers around a series of allegations that Cooley has worked to quash union activities by retaliating against hundreds of prosecutors involved with the Association of Deputy District Attorneys.
For example, he is accused of transferring pro-union attorneys to postings farther from their homes, cutting benefits, demoting them and downgrading their job evaluations. He is also accused of avoiding subpoenas from the county labor board, which is seeking to have him explain his actions.
Cooley's representatives dismiss the allegations as the work of a small group of disgruntled employees who politically oppose Cooley, including one who ran against him in 2008."
Want to know why we have a fiscal crisis? Unions runs government. Time for our elected officials to end that monopoly and return government to the people.
