NYSUT reacts to Senate bill on layoffs

NYSUT Media Relations - March 1, 2011

ALBANY, NY –New York State United Teachers President Richard C. Iannuzzi today called a Senate bill that would dismantle fairness in layoffs “an attack on collective bargaining.”
 
“This evening’s bill attempts to strip away seniority -- the heart of fairness in layoffs.  A ‘yea’ vote was a vote against public employees,” Iannuzzi said. “You will hear from some who voted for this horrific bill that it’s only a 'one house' bill; it would only apply to New York City or is simply designed to 'start' a conversation.  None of these excuses and lame attempts at disguising the real significance of this vote is acceptable.”
