More editorial comment on the U CAL 36, the most litigious, larcenous, and just plain ludicrous group of public employees this side of Naples.
UC regents should not be cowed by this despicable threat… Neither should some of them claim that lavish pensions may be needed to keep and recruit good people to UC.
Good people don’t threaten lawsuits against a cash-strapped state to enrich themselves.

not so sure UC Regents could or would be cowed
but perhaps cahoots (sp?)
it seems strange that UC Regent Blum was very quick to talk about compromise with the UC 36.
But Mark Yudof and the Regents have no interest in talking to UC employees who are desperate in their retirement for health benefits promised them.
“The retirees say they tried to discuss their concerns with the UC president, Mark Yudof, and university general counsel, but were rebuffed. Appeals to local elected officials and the Regents went nowhere, they say. Lawrence Livermore National Security is “a business fiction with no real assets,” Davis said. Information on it is scant. Its spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment.”
