Our Jobs are Under Attack
If the Trenton politicians get their way, you’ll have to be politically connected to keep your job.
Right now, the know-nothing politicians in Trenton are getting ready to gut Civil Service protections. They want to:
- Allow management to get around seniority if layoffs occur
- Allow management to decide some employees are “more essential”and lay off other, more senior workers first if layoffs occur
- Eliminate your right to a Civil Service appeal for any discipline up to a 30 day suspension
- They even want to allow employers to get rid of Civil Service completely through a simple majority vote in the county or municipality where you work
All of these proposals are part of Governor Christie’s “Toolkit,” and he wants them passed by the end of September. And the Senate had a hearing on “Modernizing Civil Service” on Monday, August 16.
You were probably at work on the 16th while the lobbyists are in Trenton trying to gut worker protections and let their buddies hand out public jobs to their political cronies. Want a seat at the table?
