More than 1,100 city employees -- none sworn police officers or firefighters -- will receive layoff notices in the next two weeks unless their unions agree to take 14 days off without pay and comp time instead of cash overtime, alderman were told this week.
"It's not a scare tactic. It's a legal requirement," said Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), Mayor Daley's unofficial City Council floor leader.
Most union contracts require employees targeted for layoff to be notified 30 days in advance.
We certainly wouldn't be surprised if the recruit classes currently in the Academy (which were expected to fully re-staff the 003 District) are sent home at some point. Daley continues to play a dangerous game of chicken, and he can't admit he's been mismanaging the City for years.
It's going to be a wild summer.
