FILE: Nov. 18, 2010: In this file photo, Fisker Automotive's Fisker Karma, 
a sports luxury plug-in hybrid car, sits on display at the 2010 
Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles.APFisker Automotive -- the electric-car 
maker that was granted a half-billion-dollar federal loan and on Friday 
dismissed about 75 percent of its remaining workforce -- is purportedly 
facing a lawsuit from the same firm that sued the government-funded Solyndra 
company.Fisker laid off 160 of its roughly 210 employees Friday morning 
from its Anaheim, Calif., location, according to Automotive News.Employees 
told the publication they were given no severance pay besides compensation 
for unused vacation days.According to the class action suit filed by Outten 
& Golden, in a California district court, Fisker failed to notify the 
employees 60 days in advance, violating the federal U.S. Worker Adjustment 
and Retraining Notification Act and a similar state WARN Act.Outten & Golden 
won a $3.5 million settlement in a similar case against Solyndra, according 
to Reuters. The solar-panel maker received $535 million in loan guarantees 
from the Obama administration before falling into bankruptcy in 2011.A source 
told the news agency that Fisker will retain about 53 senior managers 
and executives to primarily help sell off company assets.Fisker has received 
$193 million of a $529 million Energy Department loan, mostly for work 
on its luxury Karma vehicle that sells for about $100,000.
including prison guards and state troopers.Johnson 
also said the fees are not automatic and will be decided during 
future contract negotiations between the union and local school boards. 
The fees will not go toward political activities and workers are not 
being forced to join the union, he also said. The legislature has 
already passed OMalley incremental gas-tax increase that will up the price 
of a gallon of gas by as much as 20 cents by 
2016 and the governors gun-control bill, which is considered among the toughest 
in the county. The bill includes bans on assault weapons, limits on 
high-capacity magazines and fingerprinting for buyers.Mourad said he expects 
OMalley will sign the union bill.OMalleys office said Wednesday the bill 
was not part of the governors legislative agency and no decision has 
been made whether he would sign it."Gov. OMalley has been competing with 
(New York) Gov. Cuomo to make Maryland the most liberal and high 
taxed state in the nation," said state Republican Delegate Susan Krebs. 
"It is a race to the bottom for Maryland. This is all 
an effort by the governor to position himself to the left of 
his potential presidential contenders.There is no doubt that Maryland has 
become the bluest of blue states."
