State employee unions filed suit in court yesterday to block state furloughs.

And with less than 2 weeks before scheduled furloughs...I think the governor has no choice now but to lay off about 10,000 state employees. Bad decision by the unions(unless your a senior state employee with many years of service...then it's a good decision because you get to keep your job with no salary cut)
Yes there were some gray areas with regard to the governor ordering furloughs (but she was just trying to save jobs)....but now there is no gray area for the governor to order mass layoffs! And she will(she's required by law to have a balanced budget)! And if you think Aloha Airlines 2000 layoffs caused a commotion... wait until this happens!
