Use of Voter-Approved Initiative to Scale Back Pension Benefits Wins First Court Test in California
Calpensions May 14, 2012
"A superior court judge ... upheld a voter-approved initiative giving lower pensions to all city of Menlo Park new hires except police, the first court ruling as unions challenge similar measures in Pacific Grove and Bakersfield.... Being able to bypass a city council, where members may rely on union support, is one argument for ballot-box pension reform. Critics say setting pensions through local bargaining, rather than statewide legislation, tends to drive up employer pension costs. If one local employer raises pensions, unions ask other employers to match the benefit to remain competitive."
