Legal Services NYC management and labor will have two offers to consider when they resume contract talks Wednesday to resolve what is now a three-week-old strike. On May 29, management made a new offer that, among other things, put extra funding toward health care costs and made a "no layoff pledge" of permanent staff through June 2014 on the condition that New York City Council funding remains at the current level. Days later, the union, Legal Services Staff Association, came back with a counterproposal addressing health care costs and a new method of determining employee and managerial layoffs if necessary in the future.
Management offered to create a "management-staff Health Insurance Working Group" that would evaluate health care options. The union agreed to the joint committee in its counterproposal last Friday.
