Layoff News
Layoff notices were sent to 2,200 Newark city employees today. The list includes 165 police officers, about 90 firefighters, and hundreds of sanitation workers that will have their positions outsourced.
The city faces an $83 million budget deficit and these layoffs are an attempt to close that gap.
These layoff notices have come just five days after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg donated $100 million to city schools, in addition to other donors having stepped up as well.
“While Mayor Booker dances with the stars on national television, thousands of city workers are bracing to get layoff notices. Our workers don’t have direct access to the likes of Oprah or Facebook CEO Zuckerberg,” said president of the SEIU Local 617, Rahaman Muhammad.

Testimonial of the Week
What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
