Request for Injunctive Relief
On March 11, 2008, CCPOA filed this REQUEST FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF with the Public Employment Relations Board.

This is predicated on a "change in circumstance" that CCPOA believes has taken place since the LBFO was implemented that mandates a return to bargaining. Our complaint points out several substantial changes since the imposition of the LBFO including:
- DPA's failure to secure Legislative approval for the LBFO
- The Governor's declaration of a fiscal state of emergency, and
- The PERB's issuance of a complaint regarding the duration of the LBFO.

Schwarzenegger's latest budget pronouncement might be Kabuki theater. He and other actors are following a script that pretends his budget proposal is a serious effort at closing a huge deficit, even though everyone knows that it's just a piece of political theater and that the final budget adopted six or more months hence will likely bear little resemblance…
