Blythe, California

Blythe is city located in Riverside County. Blythe covers twenty-seven square miles and lies within zip codes 92225 and 92226. Blythe was named after Thomas Henry Blythe, a San Francisco businessman and entrepreneur. Mr. Blythe established primary water rights to the Colorado River in the southwestern California region in 1877. Blythe, situated on the California-Arizona border along the majestic Colorado River, boasts an economy firmly rooted in agriculture and significantly bolstered by tourism. With a population of approximately 22,000 residing within the city limits, the broader valley trade area encompasses around 37,000 individuals. However, the town experiences a remarkable transformation during the winter months, as it becomes a magnet for “winter visitors,” causing the trade area to expand more than threefold. Notably, Blythe plays a pivotal role in the Quartzsite shows, held in January and February, with its 1100 motel rooms often reaching full occupancy. During this season, the area around Quartzsite witnesses an astonishing surge in population, skyrocketing from a mere 2,600 during the summer to over 250,000 during the winter months. Situated at an elevation of 265 feet above sea level, Blythe is nestled in the Palo Verde Valley, encircled by mountain ranges on all sides. These ranges include The Big Maria’s to the north, The McCoy’s to the west, The Palo Verde and Chocolate Mountains to the south, and the Saw Tooth Mountains to the east.

Featured Employment Case

Turner v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc. (1994) 7 Cal.4th 1238

An employee brought suit alleging, inter alia, constructive discharge in violation of public policy and breach of contract. The Superior Court for the Count of Riverside granted summary judgment for the employer on both the breach of contract and public policy claims. The employee appealed. The Court of Appeal affirmed in part and reversed in part. The Supreme Court granted review, superseding opinion of the Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court, Lucas, C.J., held that: (1) employee was not constructively discharged, and (2) employee failed to show wrongful discharge in violation of fundamental public policy. In this important decision, the Supreme Court explained the standard for constructive discharge, and explained that “an employee cannot simply “quit and sue,” claiming he or she was constructively discharged. The conditions giving rise to the resignation must be sufficiently extraordinary and egregious to overcome the normal motivation of a competent, diligent, and reasonable employee to remain on the job to earn a livelihood and to serve his or her employer. The proper focus is on whether the resignation was coerced, not whether it was simply one rational option for the employee. “ ‘An employee may not be unreasonably sensitive to his [or her] working environment…. Every job has its frustrations, challenges, and disappointments; these inhere in the nature of work. An employee is protected from … unreasonably harsh conditions, in excess of those faced by his [or her] co-workers. He [or she] is not, however, guaranteed a working environment free of stress.’ ” (Goldsmith v. Mayor and City of Baltimore (4th Cir.1993) 987 F.2d 1064, 1072.) In order to amount to a constructive discharge, adverse working conditions must be unusually “aggravated” or amount to a “continuous pattern” before the situation will be deemed intolerable. In general, “[s]ingle, trivial, or isolated acts of [misconduct] are insufficient” to support a constructive discharge claim. (Silver, Public Employee Discharge and Discipline (1989) § 1.5, p. 1–13.) Moreover, a poor performance rating or a demotion, even when accompanied by reduction in pay, does not by itself trigger a constructive discharge. … Various terms such as “intolerable” or “aggravated” have been used to describe the subnormal character of the working conditions required to establish constructive discharge. (Slack, supra, 423 S.E.2d at p. 556; see also Zilmer, supra, 215 Cal.App.3d at p. 38, 263 Cal.Rptr. 422; Brady, supra, 196 Cal.App.3d at p. 1306, 242 Cal.Rptr. 324.) The essence of the test is whether, under all the circumstances, the working conditions are so unusually adverse that a reasonable employee in plaintiff’s position “ ‘ “would have felt compelled to resign.” ’ ” (Slack, supra, 423 S.E.2d at p. 556, quoting Calhoun v. Acme Cleveland Corp. (1st Cir.1986) 798 F.2d 559, 561.)… the cases are in agreement that the standard by which a constructive discharge is determined is an objective one—the question is “whether a reasonable person faced with the allegedly intolerable employer actions or conditions of employment would have no reasonable alternative except to quit.” Turner v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 7 Cal. 4th 1238, 1246–47, 876 P.2d 1022, 1026–27 (1994)
