Las Vegas City Employee Pay Cuts or Layoffs
Post Views 3In a move justified by helping the city budget, Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman announced Thursday that all city departments are likely to experience layoffs.
The stalling of bargaining agreements with local unions was cited as leaving 171 workers on the fence and another 44 unfilled.
“This is going to be a very sad day in city hall,” said Goodman. “The only alternative you have is to lay off people.”
“If they take an 8 percent reduction in salary, then nobody’s going to lose their job,” Goodman continued.
Also among the groups engaged in discussions with the city are the firefighters union and Police Protective Association.
