Protecting the Rights of Public Employees in San Diego
Federal, state and municipal employees face the same workplace challenges that their private sector counterparts do, but with a significantly heavier overlay of laws and regulations that affect their rights on the job. If you work for the federal government, a local school district, or any agency of California state government and need advice about your legal options for resolving a problem at work, contact an experienced public employment lawyer at the San Diego law firm of Warren Paul Beck, Attorney at Law.
Our law firm represents public employees of all kinds, and our long experience with public sector workplace rights issues helps us to identify and apply your strongest legal protection, whether it can be found in a collective bargaining agreement, a federal statute, or even the California Education Code. The following are just a few of the state or federal employment situations in which we can represent your interests:
- Civilian employees at military and naval installations, including Camp Pendleton and MCAS Miramar
- Civil service employees whose cases might reach the Merit Service Protection Board or the Civil Service Commission
- Unclassified state, county or local public employees
- Clerical or professional employees covered under public sector union contracts
- Appeals of decisions for termination or layoff
- Whistleblower cases and other instances of employer retaliation
San Diego area teachers and school administrators are protected from layoff by special procedures and notice rules. If you received a layoff letter after March 15 advising you that your job has been terminated for the 2008-09 school year, get the advice of an experienced workplace rights lawyer at the office of Warren Paul Beck, Attorney at Law.
Although the laws and procedures for protecting the interests of public employees can differ significantly from those applicable to the private sector, the objectives and tactical choices are generally similar: to protect your job and your working conditions through negotiation, mediation or litigation as the circumstances of your situation may dictate.
