BEAUMONT – Water utility staff for the city of Beaumont who were demoted or lost their job because of an evaluation performed by CH2M Engineers can proceed with their suits, thanks to a recent appellate court ruling. More than a year ago, several current and former city employees filed suit against CH2M in Jefferson County District Court, seeking damages for defamation and tortious interference with a contract.
