•Arizona Supreme Court strikes down 'release time' for Phoenix workers
88% Informative
The Arizona Supreme Court struck down the city's contract with a labor union.
The state's gift clause bars governments from giving money to private groups without a roughly equal public benefit.
The city's 2019 contract with AFSCME , which represents 1,500 city employees, provided roughly $499,000 in release time.
City and union argued that release time promotes positive worker-management relations.
The Arizona Supreme Court's decision backtracks on its 2016 case, Cheatham v. DiCiccio , but it does not formally reverse it.
Piccioli denied using release time for political activity, pointing to the 2022 law passed by Gov. Doug Ducey .
