City union employees, welcome to the REAL world.
When I read about the city union employees threatening to strike
during their contract negotiations this fall, I started laughing
and thinking this is suicide. Didn’t union local officials and/or
the rank and file membership have a clue there was a state wide
financial problem?

To me, it looks like the union negotiated a job loss and now “wants to follow up with a real concrete dialogue” with the city.
Speaking as a retired union member, if we had a union negotiator agree to a contract that led to the loss of jobs, we would have hung him.
My suggestion to city employees is to become a union official as fast as you can; they always have a job.
