\n Mayor Bill de Blasio is threatening to pink-slip 22,000 city employees if the feds or state don\u2019t send him cash soon, but the schnook can\u2019t even blackmail properly.<\/p>\n

De Blasio trotted out the L-word, layoffs, to stoke fear of a catastrophe. Yet even after letting that many workers go, the city headcount would still be higher, by nearly 7,000, than when Hizzoner took office in 2014.<\/p>\n

The growth came with no noticeable improvement in services, so why expect layoffs to make them worse? Some might see a trimming as a necessary step, aid or not. So much for his threat.<\/p>\n

Yes, layoffs are painful (especially if you\u2019re getting the ax). But de Blasio spent years recklessly bloating the workforce when the economy was strong and revenue flush; that left the city at risk during the inevitable downturn.<\/p>\n

Indeed, despite the pandemic, his April budget called for an even larger workforce by 2022. If he imposes layoffs now, he\u2019d deserve the blame \u2014 not DC.<\/p>\n

Massive job cuts, of course, aren\u2019t likely. City Council Speaker Corey Johnson says it\u2019s possible to make ends meet without them \u2014 and for good reason: There are countless better ways to close the $1 billion gap de Blasio says he\u2019s suddenly facing.<\/p>\n

Budget watchdogs, for starters, note 22,000 layoffs would save far more than $1 billion. The Citizens Budget Commission says losing 9,000 jobs over two years via a real job freeze alone could do the trick.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter to work with labor to increase productivity, reduce the workforce through attrition\u201d and have workers chip in for health benefits, says CBC prez Andrew Rein.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mayor Bail-Me-Out is also plotting to taunt President Trump with a giant \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d painted on the street by Trump Tower. That\u2019s a pretty odd way to seek federal help.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
