The Mayor apologized for calling older workers near retirement “deadwood” in the Los Angeles Times: “It was a poor choice of words.” He said he’s bargaining with Coalition unions, and early retirement might still be part of an agreement.

City workers will march to City Hall on June 9 to show the need for a real recovery plan for Los Angeles. Get details about the June 9 action.
