Firefighters union plans legal action against York

YORK, Pa. (WHTM) -
The budget cut proposal is not sitting well with everyone, especially not the firefighters union who plan on taking legal action against the city for what they say is a breach of contract.

"One of the hardest things I've had to do is call the four members getting laid off and tell them they are getting laid off because they were young families," union president Fred DeSantis said.

Of the 75 city jobs that could be cut, 46 are police officers and eight are in the fire department.

"It's going to be a lot of stress because you don't have as much time to rest," DeSantis said.
