Unions Win Key Victory
After tactics by the City Council a year ago to rush through discussions on city employee contracts without following state rules or allowing public input, representatives of the unions that represent municipal employees announced a key victory Tuesday."Negotiations are moving forward with the city," said Bob Schoonover, President of the LA & OC Cities Regional Board, as well as VP of the the SEIU Local 721 Interim Board and leader of the LA City bargaining team.
Employees will continue to work with the City's Executive Employee Relations Committee to win cost-of-living raises. In the meantime, the contract will be extended to September 30th. At that time - assuming a contract is signed - the employees will receive the raises retroactively through July 1st of this year.

Let's hope that there's enough tax money in the till to pay for retroactive raises. Heck, we can't even pay for repaving streets and sidewalks!
If our politicos would stop putting money into their pet projects we'd have a surplus of dollars with enough to go towards raises and then some.
What, you didn't know that L.A. City Sidewalks are scheduled to be repaved every 100 years?
Let's get some of that 12 mil that's been put aside for the gang guru
Unions are for poor dolts.
And Zuma Dogg is a useless tit.
