Negotiations Update: We last met with the College on November 21st at which time both parties agreed that we have reached impasse. To that end, we have filed a Notice of Impasse with the NJ Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC). They will assign a mediator to the parties to begin the process of mediation.

Once we have more information as to when our first session is scheduled, we will update this site. For now, please be assured that your Negotiating Team is working hard to accomplish as much as possible in this initial contract.

As always, we appreciate your patience and support.

The Post-Janus World

Some members have begun to receive mailers supporting a union opt-out campaign.  These campaigns are typically run by out-of-state special interests groups which are well-funded (as in hundreds of millions) corporate/conservative operations.  They are taking advantage of Connecticut's freedom of information (FOI) laws in order to exploit union members' privacy by requesting public agencies to hand over employee names and personal information.  These tactics are not surprising.

Additional Payment

The 8/3/18 paycheck may have included an additional $5 or $15 payment. This payment is a settlement of a dispute regarding the implementation date of wages in the 2011 A&R contract.
