California Court of Appeal

In case where petitioner sustained industrial injuries while working for respondent-city, respondent-board's conclusion that city did not violate the anti-discrimination provisions of Labor Code section 132a is annulled as city violated section 132a by requiring petitioner to use his earned vacation time rather than sick leave to attend medical appointments to care for his industrial injuries.
