Our current collective bargaining agreement expires on June 30, 2017. The negotiations team is committed to negotiate a contract that addresses the concerns of our staff. In particular, we understand that our members take home paychecks can no longer continue to go backwards year after year. The effects that P.L. 2011 Ch. 78 has had on public employees is disastrous. Reduction of the impacts of this law on our members will be a priority in this round of negotiations.
