Statement by DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido on potential layoffs

“Throughout this pandemic city employees, our frontline heroes, have put their lives on the line to provide essential services. The threat of 22,000 layoffs is not a way to repay them for their heroic acts. Layoffs should be an absolute last resort. We need the Federal government to step up and fund the frontlines, we need the State to step up and allow the City to borrow, and we need the City to protect essential workers.”
