Dear CWA Members,
WE HAVE A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT FOR A CONTRACT
for State Workers (Executive Branch).
We reached an agreement on a July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2019 contract with
the Murphy Administration that addresses all retroactive increments,
clothing allowance and two across the board increases of 2% and 2%.
We will meet with Shop Stewards and get you the details of the Agreement
this week. We will be announcing voting details and dates soon through
our shop stewards and worksite broadcasts. You will be able to see
everything in writing before the ratification vote.
We achieved our goals.
The contract improves on the pattern set by other settlements and
sets a foundation for our next contract.
We bargained to receive all of our increments retroactively and
raises for workers at max. There are no concessions in this tentative
agreement. We protected the
Contract.
We also know we waited a long time to reach this agreement and we have
new issues to bargain for the next one. We will begin bargaining the
next contract a year in advance, and
have bargaining dates for the
next round already scheduled in May 2018.
Your Bargaining Team unanimously supports this Agreement.
When we fight— we win!
In Solidarity,
Your Bargaining Team
