THANKS TRUMP: The presidents failure to provide a stimulus package for states and cities to counter his administration’s mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic will mean that many Yonkers employees will soon join the growing unemployment lines
YONKERS: A Few weeks ago the City of #Yonkers announced that it was going to have to reduce programs and cut an estimated 200 vacant positions after New York State withheld some funding.
The Yonkers Police Department cuts are said to be will be mostly from vacant positions and members who are awaiting retirement.
There is a rumor that the Yonkers Firefighters Local 628 could see a consolidation or reduction of fire companies, which will be achieved with layoffs of firefighters and leaving vacant positions open, as well as #YFD officers being demoted back into the union.
Teamsters Local 456, whose workers are mostly Department of Public Works and parks employees are believed to have the most positions on the chopping block.
Yonkers has just under 2,000 civil service positions.
