Attorneys representing the employees of the Roderick Ireland Courthouse in Springfield have filed a breach of contract complaint against the state Trial Court.
A recently-reached agreement called for a deep cleaning of the downtown courthouse, which was supposedly conducted this past weekend to address outstanding health issues. But the workers say the conditions in the building are still unsatisfactory.
This comes as developer Peter Picknelly has proposed a new Hampden County Courthouse on the Connecticut River.
Springfield Mayor Dom Sarno is backing the plan.
However, Governor Charlie Baker said during a visit on Tuesday, let's wait for the completion of a feasibility study.
