San Antonio City $158M Budget Deficit Threatens City Worker Jobs and Union Programs

Mayor Nirenberg (referred to as Mayor Jones in a new article) proposes cuts including diverting Ready to Work funds and shifting nonprofit funding, directly impacting public sector unions representing city workers. A new development: the mayor now wants a public vote on the $489M Spurs arena commitment to help close the gap, which could further affect city services and worker jobs. Town hall details and council member positions have been reported. This is critical for union organizing and advocacy.
