Stanislaus County deputy layoffs in balance (Modesto Bee)

In exchange for agreeing to 5 percent pay cuts, Stanislaus County’s nearly 4,000 employees are being offered the equivalent of 13 extra vacation days a year. The payroll savings could save some jobs if the county’s 13 unions go along, but they wouldn’t halt all of the layoffs. As many as 45 of the county’s 178 patrol deputies could lose their jobs.
