United States Second Circuit
State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition v. Rowland, 11-3061
Judgment for defendant-state officials dismissing plaintiffs' federal constitutional law claims is reversed and remanded, where: 1) plaintiffs have made out a claim that defendants, in their official capacities, violated their First Amendment right to freedom of association by targeting union employees for firing based on their union membership; and 2) the claims for monetary damages against the defendants in their individual capacities are not barred by the Eleventh Amendment and defendants are not entitled to qualified immunity at this stage.
