By Erik Even | Dated: 04-19-2009
Toledo, Ohio has issued layoff notices to 75 police officers, 17 fire department civilian workers, and 142 general-fund workers. Layoffs will begin May 1st.Remaining city workers will see hours cut to 32 a week, representing a 20% pay cut.
The 234 new layoff letters were hand-delivered last week, presumably so managers could see the priceless looks of fear and desperation on people’s faces.
The mayor’s office blamed a lack of concessions from unions for the layoffs.
The police department has 615 officers.
