| If you're out at lunch today you might see one of the pickets staged all over the state by thousands of CWA workers today, as the largest union representing public workers in NJ as their union reps sit down to another day of bargaining with reps from the state.
A few days ago, CWA filed unfair labor charges against the governor, requesting for failing to counter its health care proposal, made in 4 negotiation sessions, and requesting the Public Employee Relations Commission (PERC) order Christie to negotiate those benefits. The governor prefers an end-run to that, pressuring lawmakers to enact permanent changes to medical benefits, and increased contributions. That, says the union, amounts to bad faith.
The lunchtime rallies start in a few minutes, in Hackensack, Newark, Paterson, Randolph, Plainfield, Trenton, Piscataway, Camden, and West Deptford.
Snap us a picture if you see them out there. |
