California Court of Appeal March 25, 1998, A078087 (Zamudio v. State of California)

*675

Opinion

REARDON, J.

Does the Tort Claims Act (Gov. Code,

1

§ 810 et seq.) obligate a public entity to defend an employee sued on account of an act or omission in the employee’s capacity as a union representative? We conclude it does not when the alleged misconduct relates solely to the individual’s union duties and does not implicate his or her employment.
