Senate president Steve Sweeney and Governor Christie have joined forces with the Legislature to ram a harmful pension and health benefits plan through.

On Thursday, is a hearing in the Senate Budget Committee.

 Our profession is at stake and the fight for our future is on.

This legislation will:

Cost you THOUSANDS of dollars each year.

Get more expensive every year.

Strip away your collective bargaining rights.

Come to Trenton on Thursday,

June 16 to make your voice heard.

Planning is underway. Check NJEA.org for details.

Thursday is just the beginning. Members will mobilize to protest in Trenton every time this harmful legislation is discussed. Right now, we expect hearings on June 20, 23, 27 and 30,with more dates likely to be added.

Be there on June 16!

It’s here. It’s bad.

IT WILL COST YOU THOUSANDS.

Sweeney/Christie proposal ready to move.

The time is NOW! Union Action!

This is important info that comes from the last FMBA State Meeting the other day. Please forward this info & make phone calls to anybody you can to get them on board!
 
Joe Cryan came to the meeting and spoke to us about the importance of writing letters & calling your assemblymen.
 
When you call and/or write you are asking for 2 things.
 
1) Ask for separate votes on health care & Pensions. We do not want them to combine the two bills into one. Ask for 2 separate bills.
 
2) Ask for the vote on these 2 bills to be held by June 15th.
 
Call your assemblyman because that is where the fight is. Its basically a done deal on the Senate level.  
It was also asked that regardless of your district that ALL of us should call Valiere Huttle @ (201) 541 – 1118. Ask for her to support these 2 points.
 
The message from the State Meeting was that we are down to the wire now. Its now or never!!!
 
If you have not written or called your assemblyman by this point this is the time!!!
 
If you have written/called then do it again. Ask the guys you work with if they need assistance with their letters or phone calls.
 
They want everybody involved on this and it can not be stressed any more how imperative it is that our assemblymen hear from us!
