From The Sacramento Bee:
Gov. Jerry Brown and two unions representing state engineers and scientists filed more arguments on Monday in their two-year-old court fight over furloughs.
The administration has asked San Francisco’s First District Court of Appeal to overturn a lower court ruling in favor of Professional Engineers in California Government andCalifornia Association of Professional Scientists that said Brown in 2011 illegally furloughed their members two days longer than the Legislature had authorized. Total back pay for the 13,000 or so affected engineers and scientists would cost the state about $12 million, the unions estimate.
