Blinn v. Ohio Bur. of Emp. Serv

In Blinn v. Ohio Bur. of Emp. Serv. (1985), 29 Ohio App.3d 77, 29 Ohio B. 88, 502 N.E.2d 665, this court found that bad faith does not require a finding that the employer acted with a political or personal animus. The Court found that "where the intent and consequence of the employer's method is to subvert the civil service system to allow the selection of handpicked employees to fill jobs that should have been available to civil service workers based upon seniority and retention points, bad faith has been shown." Id. at 80.
