Publication of salaries upheld
A judge on Wednesday tentatively rejected a bid by a Department of Water and Power union that had sought a temporary restraining order to bar the Daily News' online publication of workers' names, salaries and positions. Beth Barrett in the Daily News.
Superior Court Judge Dzintra Janavs set a Nov. 1 hearing for preliminary injunction arguments for the Daily News to show cause why it should not be restrained from disclosing the salaries.
In the meantime, the move means the newspaper can keep the names and salaries of all 8,500 DWP workers posted on its Web site, dailynews.com.
Janavs noted in her ruling that the information already has been online since Sept. 30.
