On Jan 17, 2012, City Council considered changes to Mayor Ford’s budget as well as an omnibus motion by Councillor Josh Colle to reverse many of the proposed cuts to services that residents depend on. A majority of the Councillors supported Councillor Colle’s motion and it passed with 23 votes for the motion and 21 against. However, a motion from Councillor Joe Mihevic to defer contracting out cleaners jobs failed.
The motion and the votes are listed below. If your Councillor voted in support of the cleaners, please call them and thank them for your support. The Councillors who voted against it need to be reminded that these cleaning jobs are Good Jobs that hold many of our communities together. Outsourcing up a 1,000 of these jobs could cause ripple effects that hurt our City. For more information about the Justice and Dignity for Cleaners campaign, click here.
MOTION
That City Council defer consideration of contracting out of custodial services in Facilities Management and Real Estate Services and instead be considered along with the report on the final 2011 Year-End operating variance with the offset of $1.5M to come from the Tax Stabilization Reserve.
