The city of Denver is cutting some its Parks and Recreation employees' hours down to nothing to reallocate funds to deal with its ongoing migrant crisis.
The city of Denver on Monday announced some of its employees may have all their hours cut in order to reallocate funds towards dealing with the city’s migrant crisis. 'The City of Denver is trying to avoid the word ‘layoffs’ when it comes to impending budget cuts. So instead, they’re telling some hourly on-call employees they may have their hours reduced to zero,' local NBC affiliate 9News reported. The city government is looking to cut $4.
9, he said, 'These direct impacts on DMV do not involve layoffs, nor do Parks and Rec involve layoffs of our current employees.' DENVER MAYOR WARNS CITY IS ‘VERY CLOSE’ TO A ‘BREAKING POINT’ WITH MIGRANT SURGE He added, 'We will have hourly workers that will have fewer hours. If we reduce your hours and you’re an on-call worker, that’s true. We will have on-call workers that we won’t hire for the summer that we will have hired otherwise.
