Layoffs and Furloughs Present Challenges to City Service Delivery
Posted: 7/23/2009
Dear Neighbor,
If you've been reading my City Council Reports, you know that the City of Chicago faces a severe budgetary crisis not seen in at least 25 years. This crisis is not unique to Chicago, but is being faced by cities and towns across the nation.
Over eighty percent of the city budget is devoted to personnel costs--paying the salary and benefits of city workers. In an effort to cut costs, the vast majority of non-sworn city workers will not be paid for city holidays for the rest of the year. In addition, employees making over $35,000 a year will be required to take six unpaid furlough days. Two unions refused to go along with these measures, and the city laid off over 400 employees from those unions.
