By jinkies, Rahm is actually a man with a backbone:

Pink slips were sent Friday to about 80 full-time city traffic control aides who will be out of a job Aug. 15. The layoffs stem from a plan Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced on his first full day in office in mid-May, not his more recent plan to lay off up to 625 workers after he said unions failed to agree to work-rule changes.

Now maybe the unions will sit up and pay attention. I hate to see anyone lose their job, on the one hand. On the other, unions really need to stop thinking they should get more benefits than the tax payers who pay their salaries.
