How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that if the “reorganization” was a sham because the jobs were never abolished, the plaintiff may show that he was fired in an attempt to circumvent due process protections
• laying off an employee without abolishing her job is evidence of illegitimacy
• \There is an exception to a hearing right when the discharge is caused by reorganization\ unless the dismissal is a \pretext.\
• 65 ILCS 5/10-1-18’s “for cause” provision provided civil service employees “a Fourteenth Amendment property interest in their continuing employment” and thus the employees “could be dismissed only in accordance with federal due process standards”
• requiring bona fide reorganizations to avoid property rights deprivations
