Forget, for a moment, that there are still thousands of New Yorkers without power, and even \"\"more who are have no heat or hot water in housing developments.\u00a0 Forget that the governor is starting a commission to go after the power companies for criminal neglect<\/a>. Forget that the MTA has told people who rely on them for transportation on a monthly level that they will see no extension or refunds for the time the system was shut down<\/a>.\u00a0 If you can, ignore the fact that there are still thousands of New Yorkers without basic needs for life, dependent on the good will of others<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below is an actual e-mail sent to anyone who works in the law division for NYC.\u00a0 All non-exempt NYC employees who couldn’t get to work or a shelter during the Hurricane now have to use vacation days for those days, or they get docked pay.\u00a0 The city is being _generous_ enough to advance people future vacation, in the case that they do not have one.<\/p>\n

The Mayor’s signature is not on that email,\u00a0 but he is the one making this decision, ultimately.\u00a0 It is unconscionable to ask hard working New Yorkers who couldn’t get to work or a shelter due to weather AND an MTA shutdown that they should be giving their time back to the city.<\/p>\n
