A coalition of municipal labor unions, turned out tens of thousands of workers and community activits to protest job losses and service cuts that will permanently alter the lives of NYC workers and residents. Mayor Bloomberg is sharpening his carving knife and on the chopping block are thousands of civil service jobs: educators, transit workers, public health, social service workers, and library workers. The loss of these jobs mean reduced transit services, education, healthcare, fire services, and the myriad services provided by public sector workers.
