Message from President Alice Goff

We’re Making Noise at City Hall!

Everywhere you look at City Hall these days, your union, together with our partners in the  Coalition of LA City Unions, is there – holding alice1rallies, testifying before the Council’s Budget and Finance Committee, conducting press conferences, lobbying our friends on the Council and talking to the press.

“Game on,” we told the mayor and CAO, when they laid down the gauntlet with their new proposed budget last month that would eliminate hundreds of our jobs.  Our members and the unions have worked with you to make this city run, and now you’ve gone too far.  The Coalition once again, presented alternative budget solutions that clearly show NO layoffs are necessary – and will better serve the city – and we’re going to continue making noise until you listen to us.

Good News! Yesterday, the City of Los Angeles Budget & Finance Committee, Chaired by Councilman Paul Krekorian, said it would recommend averting 209 potential City layoffs until at least Jan. 1st, 2013. The Committee, which has been very thoughtful and deliberative in its process of identifying revenue alternatives to keep services flowing to residents, said it was able to come up with sufficient funds -- an extra $16 million -- to avoid layoffs.

Bias is ‘Outrageous,’ and LA’s Working Women Demand an Answer

By Alice Goff, President of AFSCME Local 3090 representing 4,800 LA City clerical and support services workers

A few days ago while speaking in front of the City Council’s budget committee, I pointed out that the mayor’s proposed budget unfairly targets “pink collar workers” for layoffs. Some 88% of the 231 positions that are being considered for cuts are jobs (mostly support staff at the LAPD) largely held by working women. This is the second time that the mayor’s policies have targeted women for layoffs. These are facts on the record.
