Shutdown briefing for Shop Stewards
We just briefed our CWA State Worker Shop Stewards on our plans in the event of a state government shut down. We’re ready to fight. We’re ready to do whatever it takes. ✊
State Workers: Text NJBUDGET to 69866 to stay up to date.
Attention – the Assembly and Senate have cancelled their sessions
Attention – the Assembly and Senate have cancelled their sessions.
CWA members should still come to Trenton as planned – just go to the War Memorial instead of the State House. ATU is also still going to Trenton – but ATU members should be in touch with Ray Greaves.
Others should follow the instructions of their leaders and call the 609-400-4763 number 3 times and speak with their legislators and tell them to support a Millionaire’s Tax and #StopSweeneysShutdown.
The Assembly and Senate are supposed to be in session tomorrow, and if there is no budget deal today – which we do not expect – we will need folks there on Saturday as well.
See you soon.
BREAKING: DATE CHANGE of RALLY – 6/29
UPDATE: The Assembly and Senate cancelled their see for today, moving us much closer to a crisis.
If you are coming down today, there will be a dry place to be at the Masonic Temple (100 Barrack St., just a short walk from the Statehouse), and we have productive work for folks to do.
Or PLEASE come Friday when the Legislators are in session and can stop hiding.
Text NJBUDGET to 69866 to get text message updates from CWA on the budget and a possible state government shutdown.
“When are we rallying? Is the state shutdown? How do I contact my legislator?”
CWA Members: Don’t be the last one to know what happens with the state budget. Text NJBUDGET to 69866 to get text message updates from CWA on the budget and a possible state government shutdown.
Pick up the phone your union is calling!
Tele-town Hall call Tuesday 6/26 at 7pm on latest updates on the budget and our efforts to avoid a state shutdown. 888-409-5380.
