Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.) said Friday he is worried a proposed deal to carve up NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX), which operates the New York Stock Exchange, could trigger layoffs in New York.

Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) and IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) announced an unsolicited $11.3 billion offer Friday to acquire NYSE Euronext, which is already planning to merge with Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse (DBOEF, DB1.XE).

Schumer said through a spokesman that he is "concerned about how this deal affects jobs in New York."

He said he asked Nasdaq CEO Robert Greifield and ICE CEO Jeffrey Sprecher to send him details of the impact of their proposed deal on New York's workforce.
