Well, well, well. We wondered if the city worker refugees who were transferred to keep from being in the layoff group were keeping their same pay- something that would have been lost with a layoff- or if they shared a seat at the table to share in the lavish feast that s the DWP's pay and benefits. See what's turning out to be a change of fortune for the city workers who were on the brink of discharge and headed for the unemployment line, but now find a very secure and warm fuzzy place with raises for virtually nothing done to earn them aside from changing to the DWP.
Did the city council who worries about jamming more city workers into the DWP's separate department think about all of this? What do you think? They continue to dawdle and really have been talking about layoffs for about a year, and since April if you count time from the date of Mayor Tony Villaraigosa's 2009 State of the City speech. Tony laid it all out and NOTHING was done- of course, not much was being done on his end since he short on time continuously spent in the city. He leaves lots of work delegated and that's leaving much up for grabs.
So read the story to see if this I have written is close to a majority view or a totally baseless complaint of some eccentric contemporary of the Mayor.
