That is a bald faced lie!
Chuck very much wants to negotiate a package to keep as many employees as possible.
In fact, he detailed how one department, SJPD, will be forced layoff 126 officers. He doesn’t want to but it looks like it’s likely as the deadline for the budget came and went last week.
He’s confident many of the officers will be rehired after the budget is approved but there will still many who will not be returning.
Same goes for these unions.
Everyone was made aware of the deadline and in fact they know the process.
The unions refuse to give on iota and will now be losing several members.
This is a phony meeting tomorrow designed to get cameras in there so they can say “Where’s the Mayor?”.
It’s a PR stunt.
You pushed your position a little to hard and now you have to wait as the law requires. Chuck can’t sit down with you right now even if you all could reasonably agree.
Have a good time ..... wasting time and trying to shaft the taxpayer who is having a heck of a time just trying to keep their job, a roof over their heads and food on the table.
Thanks for the info on this.
