LA City Council Has some great news for those who trusted them, they screwed you!
In a diabolical move the City is now considering implementing Unpaid Floating
Miguel Santana LA City CAO
Holidays, and Layoffs on ALL EMPLOYEES!
Although WE TRIED to warn you that they couldn’t be trusted and we alone recommended a NO vote, we can’t be happy about this.
Could this be a union stunt designed solely for the unions to flex those non existent muscles? Possibly a token thrown in by the cao for playing nice.
It could also be the Council seeing the weakness and quickness with which the union bosses cower at their feet golden opportunity to slam organized labor once and for all make the drastic cuts before they lose the ability to declare a Financial Emergency next year.
Either way, we told you so.
This is your LAST chance, follow us and demonstrate the Power of the Workers and slap all union shills down joining with us as we take Organized Labor to it’s rightful Old School place where we had the power.
Follow us, you stand a chance, follow the unions your as good as done.
This is about Survival, We have looked out for our collective best intrest, the unions haven’t the time to act is here! Stand Up and Fight or rollover and be left with nothing, the choice is simple and it is yours alone, the Facts are crystal clear.
“AUTHORIZE working hour reductions, layoffs, and other methods of reducing employee payroll expense including, but not limited to, unpaid floating holidays for all employees, city office closure days, abolishment of positions, etc. shall continue in FY 2012-13 in sufficient number and at the levels necessary to ensure and improve the City’s fiscal stability.”
Council Motion
Unbelievable, my MOU voted NO and we were told we had to vote again because not enough people received their ballots on time? After the re-vote, here we are overturned with less than a 5% difference in the results and they are calling it legal? It was so wrong in so many ways. And for all those who I feel “panicked” and voted YES…how does it feel to be at risk for lay-offs? I voted NO both times and I sure am partial to being furloughed than laid-off! What next? Do I dare ask? Can we get another re-vote?
