LABOR UNITY DAY
June 16th - 9 AM at The State House (inside and out)
"SAVE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING"
This is a call for action to ALL of our members:
The New Jersey State FMBA is joining forces with LABOR unions from
across New Jersey for a Demonstration Rally that will be held
THURSDAY- JUNE 16th at the State House in Trenton.
Governor Christie and Senate President Sweeney have crafted
legislation that will affect our pension system (meaning you will
pay more), eliminate COLA, and most importantly CIRCUMVENT our
contracts by mandating Health Insurance premium sharing for members
that we will carry into retirement.
Based on this legislation- you will shortly outlive your pension and
will have NO cost of living adjustment. Our Public Safety Rally
held back in March unfortunately seems to have faded away in the
memory of legislators (some of whom stood before us and made
promises).
The overwhelming turnout at the March rally was a tribute to our
members and their desire to be treated FAIRLY. We know the
time and costs that went into bringing your members down. We
need to do this again before it's too late!
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING will be a thing of the past-
IF we do not find a way to stop this legislation.
The Senate and Assembly are set to act on this soon.
