County Council Legal Representation in Prison Union Lawsuit
Allegheny County
Summary
Council voted to have its solicitor evaluate whether to file an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case involving the prison employees union and the Labor Relations Board. Supporters argued it protects the county's ability to legislate jail safety conditions, while the dissenting member questioned the use of resources since the high court already took up the case.
