Harsh Truths with Norman Seabrook
On this episode, Norm breaks down New York City’s budget, warning that so-called balanced budgets are often built on the backs of blue-collar and municipal workers. He sounds off on PEGs, agency cuts, pattern bargaining, contract negotiations, Tier 6 pensions, correction officer staffing, Medicaid, pension freezes, and the long-term costs that could hit police, fire, sanitation, correction, teachers, and working families. Norm argues that workers cannot afford to give up benefits, accept weak contracts, or stay silent while their futures are put on the line.
