The Service Employees International Union Local 1021, which represents more than 11,000 city employees, rejected a plan that would have cut holiday pay.
The city’s $6.6 billion budget faces a projected $438 million deficit.
Layoff notices will be issued May 26th, and go into effect at the end of July.
