The Association of Legislative Employees (ALE) is raising funds to support any City Council staff that lose their jobs during the 60-day reorganization period with basic living expenses . All donations will go to laid off staff. Please support City Council staff by donating.

ALE is the largest union of legislative staffers in the United States. ALE is calling on all Council Members to honor due process and Just Cause protections during the upcoming January reorganization period. This provision was intended for limited administrative restructuring, not mass layoffs or punitive action.

Without firm commitments from Council leadership, the reorganization period could be misused to target workers for union activity, filing grievances or EEO complaints or raising concerns about workplace conditions. Reorganization is no excuse for retaliation.
