Stellar Elite Ironclad Underdogs
This should be S.E.I.U motto.
The way I see it is the Mayor has less than half a day to come up with a contract for these people.
But since he couldnt even get a budget passed for 2026, what makes anyone think SEIU has any chance? He has proven over and over again that he is inept as a Mayor. What is next? No budget no money.
Contract negotiations are at a standstill since Tuerk is trying to save money off the backs of the SEIU employees. His team continues to refuse any significant raises or other added benefits.
To all the SEIU workers. STRIKE! Don't play back and forth with these negotiators, remember they offered you 2% when the rest of the city got 3%. Another recommendation: show up to negotiations with a fire or police uniform, then maybe he will pay attention.
Wait until the next snow storm and Strike.
Simple, drive the plows at 10mph. Not 25-35mph. Take long breaks. Hit some more car mirrors with the plows like you guys always do. Lmao. Someone took my mirror off one year. Its all good. It happens. Quit taking Tuerks shit.
Know your worth!! I do. You are out there freezing, and burning in the heat. You are the backbone of the city. Not the police. Definitely not the fire department. Not city hall.
Without the roads clear, everything stops. Simple as that. No plowing, no driving. Even a $50,000 mach E mustang wont go very far in a snow and ice storm, especially when buried under a mountain of snow.
Please have a safe and prosperous New Year. Good things for 2026

My hope for 2026 is for Honest Abe to get woke and realize Matt Tuerk has all the tools and policies to not only make Allentown a "15 minute city" but to be a mayor for all his constituents even the doubting Thomases among us.
Do the unhoused count in your dream world? Because Tuerk doesn't give a shit about them.
SEIU - take note.
Matthew was quoted in the Morning Call today fighting with his last breath to get his reclassifications approved. Dumbass, you don't even have a basic operating budget and you’re fighting to promote staff?
Imagine if he gave half a shit about SEIU as he doe for Michaela Boyer? What exactly is going on there? She must practice black magic and out a spell on him. She doesn’t even come to work and when she does she sits playing Candy Crush or putting a puzzle together.
“Tuerk said he would ask the new city council to consider a series of budget amendments including a $50 reduction in the proposed 2026 trash fee — as part of the compromise that city council initially rejected — a $100,000 boost to the city's homeless services, and a series of job reclassifications.“

15 minute city? Is that because that is how long it takes to drive through Allentown to get to the better areas of the Lehigh Valley?
PennDOT should just build a bridge over Allentown so it can be completely ignored.
SEIU take note.
Matthew Tuerk is fighting with his last breath to get his bogus reclassifications approved. Mr. Mayor, you don’t even have an approved 2026 operating budget but it is nice to see you are laser focused on getting your mayor staff promoted.
Meanwhile SEIU is being ignored, yet again. Imagine if Matthew gave half a shit about SEIU as he does for his executive staff member? SEIU. Take note

I'm sure he already is in Pungo and Binders ears about pushing through exactly what he wants.
Turekey like his father jennings stole from there homelessness human services blight to build a multimillion dollar land holding now operating the tri boro administrations at there command.
There is a saying in addiction treatment that to coddle the addict is to kill them, Hermano Tuérk's tough love approach to the Jordan creek squatters is so refreshing for too long these shiftless druggies have had kiddie glove treatment from bleeding heart lib turds now Matteo shall rule with an iron scepter and crack heads when needbe
SEIU's only answer is to strike. If they let Tuerk bully them then they should get what he decides to give them and move on. My bet is they won't strike. If this was the Teamsters they would have been on the picket line at 12:01 AM. Where is the Union Leadership in all of this?
Tuerk insists his 2026 budget is in place. More rule skirting. More his way or the highway. His ego can't get any bigger.
Do I smell another no confidence vote?
The 15 minute city was pioneered by comrade Anne Hidalgo mayor of Paris, cars are deadly and huge contributors towards anthropogenic climate change therefore modes of conveyance such as walking or bicycling are optimal Matt understands this and models good behavior for his constituents by cycling most places.
I reviewed the actual legislation that is being mentioned that eliminated the default budget. It says the following
ADOPTION, DEFAULT AND VOTING REQUIRED FOR TAX INCREASES AND
FEES: Removes the budget default process (preventing a tax increase from going into effect by default), requires adoption of the budget by December 31 with an affirmative vote of four members of Council and approval by the Mayor.
(Passed 15544 6/20/2019, Adopted November 5, 2019; Section 805 changes - 8,982 to 965; Section 807D changes - 7,802 to 1,836)
It seems to me that it is quite clear that the budget did not pass and Tuerk is being advised incorrectly by his legal team. Now, I do not have a University of Cape Town internet law degree like his attorney's, but I do have reading and comprehension skills.
What am I missing? You did not pass a budget and all attempts at a budget failed. It is highly unlikely that the city has a budget, Mr. Mayor. Just because you claim we do, doesn't make it factual.
