Schwarzenegger wins right to cut 2 holidays
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday won the right to cut Lincoln's
Birthday and Columbus Day from state workers' list of paid holidays.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Peter Busch ruled that the Schwarzenegger administration did not violate a labor contract when it began enforcing the change. The number of state holidays was cut from 14 to 12 last year.
California Attorneys, Administrative Law Judges and Hearing Officers in State Employment — the union that represents state attorneys and administrative judges — had argued that the state could not enforce the cut because the terms of their expired contract remained in place.
Busch disagreed, saying the Legislature can change the number of holidays. It did so as part of budget cuts last year to save $27 million a year.
