We've never run from the fact that the city has a financial problem. So, we're willing to give the 26 furlough days, but nothing else," said Chief AFSCME Negotiator Catherine Phillips.
Bing says AFSCME will not get special treatment.
"AFSCME would like to have something different than the other 30 contracts that have been ratified, and I'm not going to do that," Bing said.
The mayor says the longer he waits for concessions, the more workers will be laid off.

What about the current financial situation do the unions not understand? I suppose they would rather see their members laid off then do what needs to be done to stay employed.
