A few of our stories and columns are now in front of the paywall. We at The Chief-Leader remain committed to independent reporting on labor and civil service. It's been our mission since 1897. You can have a hand in ensuring that our reporting remains relevant in the decades to come. Consider supporting The Chief, which you can do for as little as $3.20 a month.
To the editor:
Of course there is a labor shortage at city agencies and the MTA because the word is getting out that promises made to provide Medicare to retirees are not being kept. Lower salaries were accepted during working years because of promised benefits in retirement.
If government wants to hire qualified employees, it needs to demonstrate that it keeps its promises to retirees.
