Mayor’s letter to Teamsters Local 252
Signed today by Mayor Dean Bunkers. In it, he states that “the City has determined that unless the bargaining units involved will agree to forego for the rest of 2009 receipt of COLA increase granted January 1, 2009 . . . the City will initiate furloughs of employees in both bargaining units.” The bargaining units represent Public Works and clerical workers in the City. Bunkers asks for an answer “within one week of the date of this letter.”
The letter does NOT mention layoffs.teamsters-letter

no, but i’d sure take a job if offered. cola or no cola. a job’s a job. and times are tough.
Michael, do you work for the city?
saying “no” to forgoing any cola would be akin to cutting off one’s own nose.
The mayor is asking for the city employees to forfit hundreds of dollars a month? In these economic times, could your family afford that? They need all the money they can get since they are all mostly underpaid anyhow.
