Uncertainty lingers after ruling in Vallejo bankruptcy case

Capitol Weekly reports:
A federal judge made a groundbreaking ruling earlier this month that the labor contracts of the bankrupt City of Vallejo can be overturned, but he is pushing for a settlement that would avoid nullifying the contracts.


A lawyer for the city’s labor unions said this week that one of the sticking points in the ttalks is a city demand that new hires and retirees begin paying 25 percent of the cost of their health care.
