| Aug. 25, 2008 | Judiciary PNCR contract ratified by huge margin - 9 to 1 YES vote | |||
|
After months of hard fought negotiations the Judiciary agreed to Across The Board (ATB) raises of:
3%
First Full Pay Period July 2008
The term of the contract is from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2012. Employees in this Bargaining Unit will receive an increase in their paychecks sometime in late September early October (depends on the payroll unit and the state payroll administration) and thereafter they will receive a separate retroactive check covering the increase from July 1, 2008 to the date they receive the payroll increase.
The agreement continues the annual progression increase in January for those not yet at Max. That increase is 4% annually on top of the across the board (ATB) increases that everyone receives. Once an employee reaches the Max of the range (in January) they will remain at that Max for 24 months receiving only the ATB raises. However after the 24 months at Max they will receive another 3.3% one time increase on top of the ATBs, (Max 2).
The contract also includes a 1.5% contribution by employees toward the premium cost of their health benefits. The cost of co-pays and other requirements of the State Health Benefits Plan can and should be reviewed at : www.state.nj.us/treasury/pensions/shbp.htm

Aug. 28, 2008 | Local 1034 Family Picnic - Clementon Park |
|||
|
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Due to overwhelming response for the annual Local 1034 picnic, we must now stop selling tickets.
Initially, the Local made arrangements to have 1200 tickets on hand. An additional 500 were purchased to accomodate ticket requests that came in this week. In the future we will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis for ticket purchases.
The picnic flyer was distributed to local members more than a month ago in worksites, regular mail to stewards, and on our website. We provided tickets to as many members as possible.
Unfortunately those who responded in the latter part of this week were not able to be accomodated. We are sorry that all requests could not be accomodated but there were a limited number of tickets available. If you have any constructive suggestions on how to organize the 2009 picnic, please email me at rbarrett@cwa1034.org.
We look forward to a happy, safe, and successful picnic on Sept. 7th. See you there.
In Unity,
Ruth L. Barrett Temporary Administrator |
