Overall, CASE’s financials are strong, and the organization well-positioned for the work to come.
CASE in Review
This year CASE has been hard at work for each and every member. Below is a summary of our activity to date.
Appellate Court Victory
CASE recently secured a unanimous victory in the Third District Court of Appeal against CalHR for refusing to agree to arbitration on a compensation dispute impacting several dozen BU2 members.
After CASE’s grievance was met with a refusal to arbitrate the matter, CASE filed a petition to compel arbitration in superior court. The trial court denied the petition, but CASE kept fighting for its members and filed an appeal. Although appellate practitioners know it is hard to secure a reversal on appeal, CASE persisted and the decision by the three-justice panel is a clear message to CalHR that CASE will never stop fighting for its members. Due to the extraordinary efforts of CASE we were able to beat the odds and bring home this victory.
The decision allows CASE to proceed with arbitration on a claim that could put real money into the pockets of our members who were erroneously denied what CASE believes is compensation due to our affected members.
