All are people of color, African-Americans. employed by the Defendants. Each is employed in the forensic unit at the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee. Gadsden County. Florida. Each of the Plaintiffs has met all conditions precedent to the tiling of this action. The notices of the right to sue of each orthe identified plaintiffs are attached hereto as composite Exhibit A.
...,,

3 The Defendants are the State of Florida and its Department of family Services. The principal offices of the Defendants are in Tallahassee. Leon County. Florida. The Defendants operate mental health institutions and forensic facilities in Gadsden County and in other locations in the State of Florida.
4. The Defendants employ and have employed more than fifteen persons in each of the t\venty weeks preceding the filing of this action. The Dc!'endants employ thousands of persons.
5. The Plaintiffs are employed by the Defendants in non-professional employment classifications in the forensic unit of the Florida State Hospital providing direct patient care and treatment to those who have been charged \\ ith crimes including felonies. hut \\ ho are deemed incompetent to be tried because of an existing mental illness or condition: those \vho have been found not guilty of a criminal offense because they were t(llll1d to be insane: and those who have subsequent to conviction for criminal offenses and while in the custody of the State become insane.
CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS 6 This action is brought as a class action under the provisions of Rule 23(a) as the class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable: there are questions of la\\ and fact common to the class; the claims of the rcpresentati,e parties are typical of the claims of the class: and the representative parties will birly and adequately protect the interest of the class. 7. The Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of African-Americans. 8. The action is appropriately brought as a class action under Rule 23(b)( 1) as the prosecution of separate actions by or against indi\"idualmcmbers of the class \\ould
4

create a risk of inconsistent or varying adjudications \\ ith respect to members of the class \\hich would establish incompatible standards of conduct for the part) opposing the class. and as a practical matter adjudications under Rule 23(b(2) as the Defendants have acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to the class. thereby making appropriate final inj unctive relief or corresponding declarator) relief \\ ith respect to the class as a \\ hole.
ALLEGATIONS OF UNLAWFUL EMPLOYMENT PRACTICE
9. In calendar year 2000 the legislature amended Section 121.021 ( 15). Florida Statutes. part of the legislation governing the Florida Retirement System. The change provided for an extension of the membership ofthc Special Risk Class of participants in the Florida Retirement System to include those v"ho are employed in the professional health care bargaining unit or non-unit members who are employed by the Department of Corrections or the Department of Children and Family Sen'ices and meet the criteria of Section 121.0515(2)(t), Florida Statutes.
10. Participation in the Florida Retirement System provides a substantial increase in the annual accrual rate of the members of the Florida Retirement System. The accrual rate is one factor in the formula utilized by the State to determine an appropriate pension at the time of retirement. The State determines its pension for each employee based on a formula that multiplies the accrual rate by the years of sen'ice and by the average tinal compensation. The product of the formula becomes the retiree' s pension benefit. The accrual rate for a general mcmber is 1.6% for each year of servicc. The accrual rate for a member of the Special Risk class is 3% per year of sen ice.
5

11. The legislature of the State of Florida states that the Special Risk Class of membership in the Florida Retirement System is to recognize that persons in certain classes of employment ""are required as one of the essential functions of their positions to perform work that is physically demanding or arduous. or \\ork that requires e'(traordinary agility and mental acuity. and that such persons. because of diminishing ph) sical and mental faculties. may tind that they are not able. without risk to health and sakty to themselves. the pUblic. or their coworkers. to perfllrln such duties and thus enjoy the full career and retirement benefits enjoyed by persons."
12. The change in retirement class participation and accrual rate \\as dTective January 1. 2001. and affected 24 different classes of employees who work in and about the forensic units where the Plaintiffs and the class they sed. to represent are employed. Ihe change increased the accrual rate for retirement purposes of persons employed in those 24 classes tt'om 1.6% to 3.0% per year of sen ice. After January 1.2001. The Plaintiffs continued to participate as regular members in the Florida Retirement System with an accrual rate of 1.6% per year of service.
13. The persons employed in the job classes referenced in Section 121.0515(2)(0. Florida Statutes and whose accrual rate was so dramatically increased \\we predominantly white. Over 75% of the persons \\hosc accrual rate \\as increased were whitc.
14. The purpose of the increase in the accrual rate \\ as articulated to be the exposure of the incumbents to a special risk or danger or exceptionally hard work. The Plaintiffs are constantly exposed to risk of attack from patients and are the Dnes who must
6

control the patients \\'ithout benefit of batons or tear ga~, (h'er 75°1<] of the persons emplo) ed in the classes in which the Plaintiffs are employed are /\frican-Americans,
15, The Plaintitfs serve in classes that provide constant and direct care and treatment to patients in the forensic units and they are constantly exposed to the hazards. dangers. perils. and arduous work that such care and treatment entail. The Plaintiffs. unl ike the predominantly white employment classes that recei ved an increase in the accrual rate. \vere denied special risk membership in the Florida Retirement S) stem and the accompanying increase in the accrual rate.
16. The PlaintifTs are employed in the employment classes of llnit Treatment & Rehabilitation Specialist - Forensic, Unit Treatment & Rehabilitation Specialist Supervisor I - Forensic. Unit Treatment & Rehabilitation Speciali~t Supef\ isor II Forensic. Iiuman Service Worker 1- FIC, Human Sen'ices Worker II - Forensic. Mental Ikalth Program Counselor. Senior Licensed Practical Nurse -Forensic/Corrections Iluman Service Worker I - Forensic. Human Sen'ices V'!orker II - Forensic, Custodial Worker - Forensic. Mental Health Program Anal) s1. Human Sen'ices Counselor II Forensic/Corrections and similar classifications. All employees in such classes \\ork in the tiJrensic units of State Mental Health Institutions operated by the State of Florida and its Department of Children and Families and have contact with patients more than 75% of their \\orking time,
17, The Defendants treatment of the Plaintiffs and the class they represent as regular members of the Florida Retirement System \\ho earn retirement through the Florida Retirement System as regular members with a 1,6% accrual rate tCH each year of ",en'ice while treating employment classes with similar working conditions but that are
7

composed predominantly oh\hite persons as Special Risk members of the Florida Retirement System \vith an accrual rate of 3% per year of service has a disparate and adverse impact on African-Americans. Such disparate treatment perpetuates discrimination against Afi'ican-Americans and rewards African-Americans \\ ith a pension that is a much smaller percentage of their average tinal compensation than the pension earned by other employees in the same forensic units \\ ho arc employed in classes that arc composed of predominantly \V'hite employees, This is an act of discrimination that \'iolates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended.
WHEREFORE. the Plaintitfs request that this court assume jurisdiction over this calise. certify the Plaintiffs as the class representatives of a class composed of AfricanAmerican employees of the State of Florida and its Department of Children and Family Services \V11O are employed in classes where their employment duties require them to spend at least 75% of their working time performing duties which il1\'ohe contact with patients or inmates in a correctional or forensic facility or institution: grant an expedited hearing: grant declaratory rcliefthat finds that the DelCndants violated the Civil Rights ,\ct of 1964 by providing a pension plan to those employees who \\ork in forensic units and in classes that are predominantly composed of \\hite persons that is a more l~1\'orable retirement plan than those who work in forensic units and in classes that are predominantly composed of African Americans or people of color: grant a permanent injunction that directs the defendants to grant the Plaintin~" and the class that they represent membership in the Special Risk class of the Florida Retirement System retroactive to January I. 2001: grant the Plaintiffs costs of their action and a reasonable attorneys fee: grant such other and further relief as the court deems appropriate and just.
