Loading ...New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is opposing two union backed bills on Capitol Hill. The mayor wrote in a letter that the bills could cost the city $300 million per year, but AFSCME District Council 37, the organization representing the majority of New York City s municipal workers, isn't buying the figure. One bill allows nurses to retire at the age of 50 while the other lays out a plan for members of Council 37 to buy into an early retirement plan originally offered in 1995.
