Right to Organize’ law in major win for City Hall union advocates
The city hall workers union is affiliated with American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The president of the local AFSCME chapter representing New Orleans city workers, Lloyd Permaul, told Verite on Thursday that the ordinance has already had a positive impact.
Lee Abbott, a public librarian and union organizer, said that until now, City Hall workers only had organizing rights in theory, but in practice, those rights “depended entirely on the whim of each mayoral administration.”
“Once this ordinance passes, city employees’ rights will be affirmed and enforceable,” Abbott said. “Thank you.”
