"Employment Law." Please respond to the following:

• Analyze Garcetti v. Ceballos, to determine whether or not the Pickering balancing test is applicable to this case and state why or why not.

• Many states are facing budget constraints that are shining a light on public employees' pay and benefits, which have led to debates about state employees' collective bargaining rights. From a public administrator perspective, speculate to the short-term and long-term effects if limited collective bargaining is adopted. Hint: Look at all the stakeholders involved.
