Los Angeles, CA – Liebert Cassidy Whitmore attorneys played a prominent role in editing and drafting portions of the latest treatise on California's public sector labor and employment law. The treatise, California Public Sector Employment Law, is published by Matthew Bender (Lexis/Nexis) and written by an outstanding team of skilled experts who are members of The State Bar of California's Labor and Employment Law Section. The book covers the many legal issues that particularly affect public sector agencies, their officers and employees, including wage and hour law, hiring and discipline, privacy rights, political activities, retirement, conflicts of interest, open meeting laws, access to public records, and litigation.
Bruce Barsook, Partner in the Los Angeles Office and co-editor of the book, initiated the idea of a new treatise, organized the book's structure, then played a leading role in obtaining the book's authors and editing this new employment law treatise.
Arlin Kachalia authored the first chapter on Hiring. Peter J. Brown and Elizabeth T. Arce co-authored a chapter on Leaves of Absence. And, firmwide Managing Partner, Scott Tiedemann, wrote the chapter on The Firefighters Procedural Bill of Rights Act.
