City abolishes 200 posts
The city is abolishing 200 posts, mostly vacant white- and blue‑collar positions in the central city, none in the boroughs. The plan is to save a recurring $50 million item on the annual budget. The blue-collar union is not thrilled and sees it as the city turning again to outsourcing work. The Gazette piece says the positions are “either vacant or held by permanent employees” and that the city will try to find people other work.
