In what sure is the beginning of a trend...

The city loses the first set of lawsuits from its various labor unions.  This shows that the city's unilateral decisions, in this case to rescind benefits, don't hold up in a court of law.  Money that was "saved" in the FY2009-2010 budget will now have to be applied and then some to the current FY2010-2011 budget.  So much for the city thinking that it is above the law.
