Activist Alert

 Join us for an emergency town hall this Wednesday, April 2nd at 7 pm to discuss the latest unprecedented attack on working people.

We don’t take this warning lightly, but unions are under attack like never before. After busting the TSA union earlier this month, this administration unilaterally and illegally ripped up the collective bargaining agreements of almost 1 million Federal Workers last week. This means that over a million union workers woke up to the news that they no longer have a union contract and no longer have dues deduction. This is an unprecedented attack on all workers.

We expect this is just the beginning. Corporate America and anti-union elected officials will likely now test the limits and attempt to go further by weakening collective bargaining and organizing rights for all of us.

But we can fight back, and we can win.

Please join us for an emergency Town Hall Call this Wednesday, April 2nd at 7 pm EST.

On the call, we will talk about what we can do right now to fight back, and we’ll be joined by a member of the Federal Union Network (FUN) who will discuss the next steps. Get out your walking shoes, it’s time to hit the streets in record numbers.

CWA members know: An Injury To One Is An Injury to All. When they come after our Federal workers and their unions, they come after us too.

Tell Governor Murphy: Our healthcare needs to be affordable!

New Jersey’s public sector workers in State and Local Governments have given their all to keep New Jersey going strong – we provide vital public services, make sure that NJ’s roads remain open and residents get the assistance they need, and manage every public service from libraries to education to the DMV and beyond.

We’re the engine that keeps this state going, but we’re crumbling under the weight of healthcare. Enough is enough.

We are demanding that Governor Murphy support our proposal to:

  • Address affordability for public sector workers: replace chapter 78 with lower contribution rates for all public employees.
  • Improve governance and transparency: reform the SHBC to have more equal governance and require transparency and reporting on rate renewal calculations.
  • Cost-control without cost shifting: implement Reference Based Pricing without balanced billing.

Taking these measures will address skyrocketing healthcare costs for New Jersey’s public sector workforce and control costs for all New Jerseyans!

Sign the Petition to Governor Murphy telling him: Stand with workers! Work with us to control healthcare costs and make healthcare affordable!
