Mamdani's City Hall Transition Faces Union Resistance
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdanis transition into City Hall is facing resistance due to union protections, as his plan to replace nearly two hundred political appointees is being challenged. Thirty staffers with formal civil service titles cannot be dismissed without internal hearings, leading to many returning to their original city agencies. The news has been tough for current employees, with some confronting Mamdani and receiving little information beyond initial job loss notifications. Mayor Adams spokesperson criticized the incoming administration for attempting to lay off unionized employees. The Mamdani transition team has been busy, raising funds and announcing an advisory team, but high-profile positions remain unfilled.
