Minneapolis Proposes Furloughs for City Workers | KSTP TV - Minneapolis and St. Paul
This may sting a bit.
In a move apparently without precedent in its history, the city of Minneapolis is proposing to furlough workers as it grapples with a $24 million shortfall.
The plan, which has not yet been approved by the City Council and therefore could still change, would initially only apply to the city's appointed, non-union represented employees, which make up about seven percent of the city's 3,600-strong workforce.
But city labor negotiators have already proposed adding furlough authority in all future union contracts, city leaders and union officials confirm, meaning unpaid leave could soon apply to a broad swath of the city's workers.
This may sting a bit.
