City union deals set for approval
The City Council is poised to approve three separate labor deals today that would cut its $405 million deficit in half this fiscal year without layoffs or furloughs, according to officials. New contracts with the Coalition of Los Angeles City Unions and the Los Angeles Police Protective League are expected to save $105 million and $58 million, respectively, in fiscal year 2009-2010, according to officials. An Early Retirement Incentive Program aimed at shedding 2,400 civilian employees from the payroll would save $20 million from the city's general fund, plus another $155 million from the budgets of Los Angeles World Airports and the Port of Los Angeles, according to officials.
