Unions representing 6,300 city employees smack down Mayor Villar's Labor Deal

One-third of city workers grade Mayor Villar's latest labor deal.

One-third of City of Los Angeles employees voted to reject Mayor Antonoi Villar's "landmark labor deal" that was suppose to ease the budgetary pain in the 2011/2012 Fiscal Budget at 200 Spring Street. Thus proving that Mayor Villar's Administration answer to the State of Wisconsin Budgetary Plan, was empty rhetoric.
As cut and pasted from the Old Gray Hag on Spring Street report, "Villaraigosa and coalition leaders had repeatedly billed the pact as a way to end furloughs. That argument was undermined somewhat by the fact that the vast majority of workers -– including sanitation workers, librarians, landscapers, street light maintenance crews, zookeepers and every employee at the harbor and airports –- have already been spared from taking unpaid days off". So much for the landmark status of this great compromise.

The great leaders of Wisconsin might find further amusement in this cut and paste tidbit from the same story. The deal did not cover sworn employees, such as police officers and firefighters, or workers at the Department of Water and Power, all of whom are also exempt from furloughs. After all, Puiblic Safety (LAPD) and Brian D'Arcy's IBEW employees are special.
Thus, the former labor organizer from City Terrace, is quickly becoming an afterthought among city employees.
