Just a quick question about a civil service preference. Does anyone know what 534 civilian is? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know what 534 means but those people are the plaintiffs and winners in a lawsuit brought to end the consent decree in Boston. Most scored a 100 or higher and were not hired due to minority preference.

Thanks for the help. Does anyone know if these people usually get the open positions once they become available? The only reason I ask is that one just suddenly appeared number 1 on one of the lists I am on. I am going to check some more prior threads to see if I can find anymore info.
