Can a public entity discharge an employee because he exercised a statutory right to join an employees' organization?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Reinbold v. City of Santa Monica, 133 Cal.Rptr. 874, 63 Cal.App.3d 433 (Cal. App. 1976):

3 Appellant's reliance on Ball v. City Council of Coachella (1967) 252 Cal.App.2d 136, 60 Cal.Rptr. 139, which held that a public entity can not discharge an employee because he exercised a statutory right to join an employees' organization, is not in point, and does not merit more intensive discussion.
