President's Update on COVID-19 Baltimore City Budget Shortfall

TO ALL CUB BARGAINING UNIT MEMBERS EMPLOYED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL:

RE: CITY’S BUDGET SHORTFALL

On April 9, 2020 the Mayor’s Office assembled a meeting of all the Presidents of the Municipal Unions of Baltimore, along with the Labor Commissioner, Director of Department of Human Resources, and Deputy Budget Director. At that meeting, the Unions were presented with a summary of the City’s budgetary projected shortfalls of $46 million in FY2020 and $103 million in FY2021 “due to the economic impact of COVID-19.” The Unions were then presented with three concessionary options to help the City reduce personnel costs by $11.1 million.
