This Monday is a Teamster holiday. About 30 years ago (possibly even longer) members of the Teamsters agreed to work on the Friday after Thanksgiving. The Friday after Thanksgiving is a holiday for CSEA members. As part of the agreement they were given a holiday the day on “Easter Monday”. As a result, next week is a holiday week (one day garbage, two days recycling—see sanitation schedule). I will be asking our labor negotiators to discuss with the Teamsters ending this holiday and giving employees a floating holiday (which they could take anytime during the year). The employees lose nothing. The town gains an extra work day. We have done this in the past with other holidays.
TUESDAY—7 PM. Will Library, Yonkers. I’m helping commuters work to save the Westchester-Manhattan bus line which serves the Central Ave corridor. I believe that the elimination of this route will have a very negative impact on property values on Central Ave and also am of the opinion that this could be more costly to taxpayers in the long run. Many train stations do not have adequate parking spots that could accommodate the commuters who presently take the bus. Government should be promoting public transportation. I hope you join us at this meeting.
