Leonard Carder scored an important victory in its ongoing pro bono representation of grocery workers whom Albertsons locked out during the 2003-2004 Southern California grocery labor dispute. The State of California denied these workers unemployment benefits during the four and a half months they were locked out by Albertsons. In a published decision, the California Court of Appeal overturned the trial court’s dismissal of the grocery workers’ lawsuit, and ruled that the lawsuit should be allowed to move forward.
