Union members planted red flags outside City Hall to symbolize the hundreds of signatures they say have collected from employees across multiple city departments.

“Presumably from Broadnax's perspective, you would bring the people that you know and trust,” Jillson said. “He really does have to expect to be judged on this. It's not all going to fall on these malefactors here. This is a question of judgment, and insight into character because these folks had worked together before.”

“This partial retreat confirms that One-ATS is a flawed and mismanaged consolidation,” union President Brydan Summers said in a statement, adding that the change “raises far more questions than it answers for workers and City services.”

“After years of not being served by centralized ATS for widespread department and work group needs, I advocated to build department capacity to save costs and improve services,” Wilkes told Council. “I sat on the initial hiring panel for our first data team manager in 2016. I’ve seen firsthand what a capable department-embedded data team can do to build trust, capacity, and deliver results.”

After looking over the memo, Davis said he still wasn’t certain whether his position falls under “operational technology,” leaving questions about how the changes will be applied in practice.
