If the union disagrees with any proposal, the City still has the option to approve.  Often projects (in this case GPS) may have been dropped because based on union consultation the union and/or some of its members did not approve.  In summary, all the hoops and loopholes in the relationship between the City and the union make Corporation Counsel's approval of Mr. Totto's request for GPS meaningless.  No follow through may be the union did not approve and Corporation Counsel was not willing to do battle on the GPS request.
