NYC Municipal Workers Demand Fair Contracts -28'
NYC Municipal Workers Starved Under Bloomberg Send Message to Mayoral Candidates They Demand Fair Contracts
Thousands of N.Y.C. municipal employees, including health care, education, sanitation, transit, communication, and public housing workers – the diverse category workers who make this city run, filled City Hall Park demanding new labor contracts. NYC’s more than 300,000 employees have spent up to four years working under expired union contracts, without any wage increase to keep
pace with inflation, while Mayor Bloomberg contends salary
increases, and retroactive pay would blow a massive hole in the city’s budget. Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s predicted budget deficits each year have actually ended with billions in surpluses, and he continues to give billions in contracts to high-priced consultants and outside contractors, some of whom have been marked by fraud and incompetence. So, now municipal workers demand a new deal from a new Mayor in the new year.
