Laguna Beach
Laid-Off Workers Sue:The California School Employees Assn. has filed suit against the Laguna Beach Unified School District on behalf of five employees who were laid off in 1983, when the district contracted with a private company for custodial services. The suit, filed this week in Superior Court, claims that the district violated provisions of the California Education Code when it laid off seven workers whose functions were taken over by the Costa Mesa-based Porto Building Maintenance Inc. The suit seeks reinstatement of the seven positions, with five of the openings to be filled by the laid-off custodians who have told the union they want their old jobs back.
