The City Council blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani as Hizzoner fights lawmakers who bypassed the collective bargaining process to give teaching assistants $10,000 pay bumps outside of their contracts. The council’s attorneys asked a Manhattan judge in Tuesday court papers to drop Mamdani’s lawsuit — saying if the mayor doesn’t like the giveaway, he should bake it into his own labor negotiations. “The Mayor, who affirmatively chose to bring this lawsuit, does not get to litigate his case in an imaginary world bereft of legislative history that he dislikes,” the legal team said in a legal brief.
