Labor Union Withdraws Furlough Lawsuit
KENTUCKY....
The American Federation of State County & Municipal Employees, the labor union that filed suit to block the unpaid furloughs of state employees, has withdrawn the suit. American Federation says it decided to drop the suit after Beshear administration officials agreed to discuss furloughs and other issues through a group called the Governor’s Employee Advisory Council. David Warrick, executive director of AFSCME Council 62, says there’s no promises of anything, but there had been no discussion prior to the furloughs, and it's the process that should have been used in the first place.
