TAMPA - Chanting "No justice, no peace!" more than 30 union workers, including several city employees, protested outside city hall this morning.
They said Mayor Pam Iorio shouldn't proceed with plans to lay off 100 employees.
In November, Iorio announced 100 people likely would lose their jobs next year when the city privatizes some services. About 50 security officers and 38 janitors are among those targeted.
