Reply #23: Do they hire them back at a lower salary?

[blaze]

Why would layoff notices to all be part of the contract?

And this, from the article...

"Under a law known as Public Act 4, passed by the Michigan legislature and signed by the state's new Republican governor in March, emergency managers like Bobb have sweeping powers. They can tear up existing union contracts, and even fire some elected officials, if they believe it will help solve a financial emergency." (emphasis added)

Fire elected officials? Really?

This is so wrong.

So much for checks and balances.
