SCRANTON, Pa., July 10 (UPI) -- Scranton, Pa., labor unions plan to ask a county judge to hold Mayor Chris Doherty in contempt for drastically cutting municipal employees' pay, officials said.
In a bold move Friday, Doherty temporarily slashed the salaries of about 400 municipal employees -- including himself, police and firefighters -- to $7.25 an hour, the state and federal minimum wage.
