Mayor Bunkers: More layoffs possible
In addition to the five layoff notices being mailed out to City employees, Mayor Dean Bunkers says “there’s a possibility of additional layoff notices coming out.” He expects to know by tomorrow if one more employee will be laid off.
These are all notices of layoffs in 30 days, he said. ”I would love to be able to rescind those if the circumstances change,” Bunkers said. He added he is “working hard to come up with a plan” to take to Russ Walpole.
Walpole is the Teamsters representative who has said Bunkers did not offer anything in return for employees forgoing Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increases, and/or furloughs.

Thank for the layoff Bunkers. My family sure does appreciate it.
mayor bunkers is doing what it takes to keep our town afloat. a return on forgoing colas and taking furloughs is KEEPING ONE”S JOB. have you, mr walpole, even asked the affected employees what they would rather have? if i were in their position i surely would opt for continued employment.
