NORTH COUNTY: It wasn’t the best morning for a drive down the North County coast. In the space of one hour, southbound Interstate 5 was the scene of three serious accidents, two of which led to traffic alerts. A 23-year-old Los Angeles woman suffered serious head injuries when she was thrown from the back seat of a van as it flipped after a right rear tire blew out, authorities said. That triggered the California Highway Patrol to issue a traffic alert. About 10 minutes later in Carlsbad, a collision between two vehicles on south I-5 near Tamarack Avenue left a Ford Crown Victoria sedan on top of the center divider. Another traffic alert was issued.About 10:30 a.m., the third accident took place on southbound I-5 near the Border Patrol checkpoint, a tangle involving as many as seven vehicles. Hopefully someone has a good attorney…

Meanwhile, in legal news from the Puget Sound area as reported in the ‘Seattle Post Intelligencer’, it was reported yesterday that The Seattle Police Officers’ Guild has filed a formal complaint with the Public Employment Relations Commission alleging that the city has been trying to undermine the union in labor negotiations. By the way, if you are in Seattle or the Puget Sound area generally and need an excellent Seattle Criminal Attorney then by all means take a look at the Law Offices of Kirk C. Davis. What really distinguishes them is not just the effective Criminal representation, but also their commitment to various principles such as Diligence, Communication, and Perseverance. So if you require a competent Seattle Criminal Attorney then do check these guys out, you will be glad that you did…alright now back to the story at hand…This particular complaint follows a decision by the Mayor’s Office Tuesday to dispatch top-level police administrators to officer roll calls to present a contract offer that the union had rejected. All in all,  the guild attorney alleges that Seattle officials acted because they were aware that guild leaders and shop stewards were attending a training session.

The complaint meanwhile asks for sanctions such as legal fees and an order preventing Seattle from “bargaining in bad faith.”

Officers have been working without a contract for about two years now……… The guild has already won a judgment several weeks ago concerning full disclosure of officer disciplinary records to a citizen review panel.
