The L.A. City Council voted to spend up to $3 million to settle a lawsuit by firefighters who alleged that they faced retaliation after reporting rushed and incomplete building inspections.
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday agreed to pay up to $3 million to settle a lawsuit brought by a group of firefighters who alleged that they faced retaliation after reporting misconduct in the Fire Prevention Bureau.
in which they accused Fire Prevention Bureau officials of cutting corners by using poorly trained firefighters who were coaxed by supervisors to relax safety rules and overlook violations while conducting inspections. Another firefighter said his position was eliminated after he reported unlawful billing practices in the unit that inspects high-rises. He moved to a fire station and was forced to take a $50,000 cut in his salary, the complaint alleged.
