Cops on break
The Pacific Grove Police Officers Association filed a charge with the state Public Employment Relations Board in Sacramento that the Pacific Grove City Council violated state labor laws by enacting an ordinance that would limit the city’s contribution to retirement benefits.
The measure, initially proposed by residents for the Nov. 2 ballot, caps city contributions to employee pension benefits at 10 percent of workers’ salaries. Employees could pay additional amounts toward their retirement out of their own pocket.
