Vindication Of Negotiating Rights For Los Angeles Employees Was An Important Public Benefit
On August 6, 2026, we posted on City of Los Angeles v. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Case No. B336981 (2d Dist., Div. 7 filed July 30, 2026). On the fee issue, it held that Coalition vindicated bargaining rights for L.A. employees, a significant pool of employees (more than the interests of the petitioner) for purposes of qualifying for CCP section 1021.5 fees. We can now report that the opinion was certified for publication on August 28, 2026.
