State of Ohio ex rel. the International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1536, AFL-CIO. v. John Barbish et al., Case No. 2022-0988
Eleventh District Court of Appeals (Lake County)
ISSUES:
- When a fire chief in a classified civil servant system retires with the intent to be immediately rehired, does the retirement create a vacancy that must be filled through the competitive promotional examination process prescribed by state law?
- If a member of the promoted ranks of a classified civil service fire department resigns, can that member be reinstated only to the rank of regular firefighter?
