New York City will delay sending layoff notifications to 22,000 government workers, officials said Monday, after union leaders urged Mayor Bill de Blasio to postpone the job cuts to allow more time to find alternative cost-saving measures.
Workers across all city agencies were expected to be notified Monday if they would be laid off by Oct. 1. The layoffs are considered a last-resort option by the city, which faces a financial crisis brought on by the new coronavirus pandemic.
