As layoff looms, IHA workers try to save health care
SEIU Workers United Shop Steward Caleb Bryant, left, who works in the Irvington Housing Authority Maintenance Department, sits with one of his members, rear, and with former IHA Board of Commissioners member and current public housing resident Delores Calloway, seated right, on Monday, April 4, on the eve of the strike they organized to protest their imminent layoffs by IHA Executive director David Brown. Since then, Bryant and the other 12 IHA maintenance workers were given an 'indefinite postponement' of their scheduled layoffs; however, union members said they still have plenty of questions about health care benefits and layoffs, which loom ever closer.
