CHICAGO (CBS) — Mayor Rahm Emanuel today said he plans to lay off 625 city workers as part of a plan to close a $10 million budget gap.

Emanuel said he will outsource airport and library janitors, benefits management workers and workers at the water billing call center. He also plans to cut seasonal transportation department workers. Under contract, the workers are given a 30 day notice of a planned layoff.

“Today, I took the steps because I cannot wish away the shortfall,” said Emanuel, who had wanted alternative suggestions for savings from unions.
