Local Layoffs and Budget Cuts: What We Stand to Lose This Fiscal Year

The city faces a challenging fiscal budget, with 14 employees expected to be laid off and no wage increases this year. An alarming 10% increase in insurance contributions and mandated unpaid days could further strain public service workers. AFSCME Local 1891 reports an average yearly salary of $50,585, with new hires facing reduced pension benefits due to Senate Bill 1946. As Evanston City Council grapples with decisions amidst an unprecedented budget crisis, the election stakes are high: our jobs, pensions, and public services hang in the balance.
