The Union is happy to announce a small victory in the layoff process. We convinced the County this week that they should rescind the layoff notices given to the paralegals who work as readers for our blind attorneys. This move would have left our blind attorneys without the necessary tools to effectively represent the clients of this office. While these readers were previously informed that they would be laid off with other employees effective April 29, 2007, they were informed today that they can remain on the job. Although this victory may be small in terms of the number of jobs saved, it is important to our co-workers who rely on readers to assist in providing quality service to our clients. Welcome back.
