Hundreds of city
workers, along with family members
and supporters, plan to march to City Hall today to
press their demand that the City Council abandon a plan
``to impose massive pay cuts through furloughs.''
The workers, members of the Coalition of L.A. City
Unions, say they will begin the march at 9:30 a.m. at
Hill Street between First and Temple Streets, outside
the Civic Center Metro stop, proceed south to First
Street, then east to City Hall.
The marchers will urge the City Council ``to abandon
a short-sighted plan that would devastate city services
and impose massive pay cuts through furloughs,''
according to a coalition statement.
