Coming up this FRIDAY, FEB. 24, 2012 in the Florida State Legislature concerning the PENSION LAWSUIT:
Judge Jackie Fulford conducts a hearing next to issue a ruling in the case challenging the changes to the pension laws. The judge is reserving one hour for the hearing. The Florida Education Association, is spearheading a class-action lawsuit filed last June arguing that the state's new law requiring state employees to contribute 3 percent of their pension to their retirement violates contractual and collective-bargaining rights of employees. The FEA largely pins the case on a 1974 law that says the rights of retirement system members are "contractual in nature" and "shall not be abridged in any way." (Friday, 3 p.m., Leon County Courthouse, Courtroom 3D, 301 S. Monroe St., Tallahassee.)
HERE are the lawsuit documents.
