What does this do to their pension?
Emotions ranged from disbelief to despair to downright anger Friday as 15,000 San Francisco city workers received pink slips. But Mayor Gavin Newsom reiterated that his controversial plan to rehire them under shortened workweeks would wind up saving thousands of jobs.
Newsom ordered the layoff notices be sent to most of the city's 26,000 workers and said the overwhelming majority of them will be hired back within two weeks to work 37.5 hours a week instead of their current 40 - meaning they'll see a 6.25 percent cut to their paychecks.
The plan will save $50 million in the city's general operating fund, which has a $522 million deficit for the 2010-11 fiscal year. It will save another $50 million in departments that don't receive general fund money like the port and airport

The state attorneys' union had sued the governor's Department of Personnel Administration for carrying out a law passed nearly a year ago eliminating Lincoln's Birthday, Feb. 12, and Columbus Day, the second Monday in October, as paid holidays for state employees.

"We agree with today's ruling," said Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Rachel Arrezola. "It doesn't make sense for state employee unions to fight to go from 12 holidays to 14 in today's economy, when the rest of state government and the private sector is cutting back."
