Psychiatric Techs File Lawsuit Over Mandatory Furloughs
On Monday, the California Association of Psychiatric Technicians filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court over state-imposed furloughs that many of its 7,000 members are unable to take because of staffing issues at the facilities in which they work. The suit seeks pay for hours worked or furloughs in which the technicians actually take time off.
