Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam had planned to lay off more than 200 state workers this month, but a Davidson County judge has issued a temporary restraining order on the move following a lawsuit filed by state employees. The suit charges state officials with violating a law concerning the 60-day notice for affected employees. It claims that though officials gave notices throughout the month of April, they did not comply with part of the law that says employees that are to be fired must receive career counseling, testing, and job placement assistance. A hearing is scheduled in the case for Monday, June 17th.
