Shift comes after labor union filed a grievance over the weekend
San Diego on Thursday night rescinded furloughs it ordered last week for 800 city workers. And it has agreed to continue paying those employees their full salaries and to find them other city tasks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mike Zucchet, the union’s general manager, said Thursday night that the city’s willingness to find other jobs for the workers resolves the union’s grievance, which would have gone to the City Council if Mayor Kevin Faulconer hadn’t resolved it.Zucchet said the workers — even those who didn’t work at all this week because they had received furlough notices a week ago — would receive all of the pay and benefits they would have been entitled to if they hadn’t stopped working.
City officials haven’t revealed how much they are saving by discontinuing pay for the hourly workers, many of whom worked at city libraries and recreation centers.
