Tell Your Legislators: Stop the Layoffs, Hands off Our Benefits Once again, New Jersey legislators are trying to score cheap political points by scapegoating state workers for New Jersey's financial problems.  Even though we addressed these issues in last year's negotiations, some legislators are beating the drum for new cuts in pensions and health care. We need your help to stop these attacks. Click here to urge your representatives in the State Senate and Assembly to respect the collective bargaining process and to reject Governor Corzine's proposed workforce reductions. Understaffed? Tell your story. Governor Corzine's budget calls for steep reductions in the state workforce. But many state agencies and departments are already dealing with staffing shortages. Corzine's plan would only make the situation worse, leading to major cutbacks in state services for all residents. Help us show that New Jersey can't afford to lose more state workers. Tell us about your experience with understaffing.  Are you doing more with less?  Has the size of your unit been reduced over the last few years?  By how much?  Is there a lot of stress among your co-workers?  Are there services you can't provide any more or can only deliver on a delayed basis?  Click here to let us know.
