Mayor Bloomberg Calls for Massive Layoffs at NYC Agencies

Thousands of teaching jobs to be cut

MYFOX NEW YORK STAFF REPORT

MYFOXNY.COM - New York City will lay off thousands of workers, eliminate many open jobs, shutter some firehouses at night, and fill fewer potholes in the next year and a half to help close a huge budget hole, Mayor Bloomberg announced Thursday. Most of the job cuts are teaching positions.

"We've kept the city's financial house in order through these difficult times by planning ahead and never shying away from making the hard decisions, and our current budget remains balanced because of that sound approach," Mayor Bloomberg said in a statement. "But we face a significant challenge for next year, as federal stimulus dollars run dry and the city still suffers from the impacts of the national economic downturn."

The mayor's November financial plan revised four-year financial plan reveal the need for $1.6 billion in closing actions over the remainder of fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012. Hiring will be very limited -- only one worker will be hired for every two that leave, according to a news release from the mayor's office.

The mayor's plan includes eliminating 6,166 teaching positions, 350 civilian positions at the NYPD, 51 correction officer jobs, 200 Sanitation Department supervisor posts, 59 call taker positions at the 311 call center, and many more, according the news release.

The plan would also close 20 fire companies overnight, reduce the work year from 12 months to 9 months for more than 1,400 Parks Department workers, eliminate funding for mental retardation and developmental disability clinical programs, and close public libraries an addition day a week.

The Department of Transportation would also lay off for one week 641 street maintenance and arterial resurfacing employees, which means 9,000 fewer potholes would be filled, according to the mayor's office.

Overall, the city government's headcount would drop by 2,102 employees in the current fiscal year and by 8,264 in fiscal year 2012.

Many of the jobs to be eliminated are already vacant and some would occur through attrition, but layoffs are planned as well.

"More spending reductions are going to be necessary, and we have to continue to reduce the number of employees we have by not filling positions -- we simply cannot afford the size of our current workforce," Bloomberg said.

Just shut down Wall Street, that's where the DERIVATIVES and CDSs and CDOs were created that caused the huge tax burden Americans face.

Can't that Jew just shut down one freakin street ?

Yea, so what you put in place for commerce. Or do you just want to have a central government authority control everyone and everything. You are letting you communist beliefs show.

Commerce happens, anyway.

We should return to Victorian standards of personal liability.

Corporations, if created at all, should be commissioned only for a limited time, only for specific purposes, and only after great scrutiny.

Great idea. I've never been there and have never had even the slightest desire to do so.

Pull it, Captain !

Until one has spent a few years there, they cannot really appreciate true decadence and diversity.

They have 50,000 cops that TRY to maintain some semblance of law and order. When one leaves there, you feel like you need an extra long hot shower.

Money indeed does disappear into a BLACK hole there, never to be seen again.

I had a buddy whose company contracted to work with Traveler's Insurance for one year as a result of being sold to them. He was being paid outrageous money to do it but he quit because he couldn't stand New York and all of the foreigners everywhere, nor could he handle working with all of the Jews at Travelers.

I believe you and think I need a shower just thinking about that shit hole.

Think of this...

When everything goes kaput in this country, and survival is work of the day, those people will leave NYC like rats, millions of them. Looking for something to eat.
