When I became mayor, I began an initiative to ensure that all employees are treated fairly and with respect.
Employees are now given the opportunity for benefits, rather than watching benefits go to persons who have less time and service than themselves. I have insisted that employees are treated fairly and with consistency whenever compared to previous, similar situations.
