From NJ.com:The New Jersey police union says it will sue the state to block public employee furloughs.
New Jersey Policemen's Benevolent Association spokesman Jim Ryan says his group will file suit Friday or Monday to stop an emergency rule allowing furloughs.

Ryan says the PBA will seek to stay the rule at least until it can be clarified. As written, he says local and state governments do not have to prove financial hardship before laying off workers. We'll have to see whether CWA takes the same action or joins in the suit. I wonder what clarifications could be made that would actually make the furlough plan acceptable? State workers feel like they are being scapegoated and I don't see how you can really clarify to make that any better. It looks like this fight will continue either way. |
