Dear Editor:

Now that we have elected a new mayor, congratulations are in order. We fervently hope that Mayor Bill de Blasio will be able to accomplish much during his term in office.

All New Yorkers want a better, cleaner, safer city and more job creation to boost the city's economy. All the city unions need to sit down with Mayor de Blasio and work together to come to an agreement on new contracts for thousands of city employees.

These workers are the backbone of this great city,and deserve the best contracts with the maximum salaries and benefits allowable.

Sincerely,

John Amato
