RENO, Nev. — Washoe District Judge Lidia Stiglich has issued a preliminary injunction to stop the layoff of 32 Reno Firefighters.
To be clear, it is not a final decision, rather an effort “to preserve the status quo” until a decision is reached. The Judge wrote because the labor dispute is being heard before the Nevada Employee-Management Relations Board, it is not clear how it will end.
The judge wrote if the dispute does end in the favor of the firefighters union, the firefighters will “suffer irreparable harm” because simply paying back pay owed to the then firefighters would not be full compensation because of emotional damages, stress and loss of health care.
