San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie unveiled a proposed budget that would lay off 100 city workers as part of efforts to address a substantial $782 million budget shortfall. This announcement sparked protests from over a thousand city employees at City Hall, demanding the Board of Supervisors reverse the layoffs and other job cuts. Some affected individuals expressed concerns about the loss of services to the community, highlighting their frustration and uncertainty regarding job security. While the budget requires approval from the Board, complexities arise due to the city's financial constraints.
When public service is under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back! Attendees, many of whom were city workers, shouted back.
Judy Sorro, an employment liaison for CityBuild, said she found out on Friday that she was among the proposed layoffs, despite earlier celebrations of the program's anniversary.
Reddic asked, 'What about the people that we're not going to be able to serve?' highlighting the impact on community services due to layoffs.
Lurie's proposed budget cuts include 1,400 positions with only funding for 470, and the Board of Supervisors can only adjust existing allocations.
