City employee labor unions are reacting strongly to the recent announcement of over 70 layoffs due to a $130 million budget deficit. SEIU 1021's President accused the city of violating contract terms and prioritizing layoffs of senior employees over temporary staff. A coalition of unions condemned the city administration's mismanagement in their joint statement, stating ongoing advocacy efforts had been ignored. The city administration claims the layoffs are necessary for long-term financial stability, but union representatives vowed to fight against the cuts and ensure proper negotiation procedures are followed.
"We're going to hold the city accountable and make sure everyone knows - you messed up, we're gonna fight for our members."
"This is the direct result of the City Administration's failure to responsibly manage the budget, for months, our coalition has been sounding the alarm and advocating for alternative solutions."
