Monday, April 6, Mayor Lurie’s administration issued layoff notices to San Francisco city workers, including 62 SEIU 1021 members across 12 departments.
And it’s not over: The mayor has announced that he is still committed to eliminating a total of 500 positions across the City, with a second phase of layoffs reportedly to come around the time he releases his proposed budget at the end of May or early June. City workers are deeply concerned that these cuts will further strain already understaffed departments that keep San Francisco clean, safe, and livable.
