New Haven Union Chiefs: Don’t Blame Us
11 of the city’s 13 unions, are in turbulent negotiations with city hall
The email that stuck in Cherlyn Poindexter’s craw—that would remain in her craw a month later amid a city budget crisis—invited people to a “good-by” party.
The invitation went around city offices on Feb. 3. It invited people to a “‘good-by good luck’ reception” for staffers leaving their appointed jobs in the mayor’s office.
One of those staffers, mayoral spokeswoman Jessica Mayorga, was indeed leaving New Haven—by her own volition. She found a job in the D.C. area, where her family was moving. Her job wasn’t being eliminated; someone else would replace her.
Two other “departees” weren’t going to be unemployed, either. They were moving positions with theNew Haven Promise scholarship program.
