RESOLUTION OPPOSING BILLS S-319 AND A-J030
WHEREAS, legislation pending, Senate 319 and Assembly 1030, would amend
the NJ Employer-Employee Relations Act to prohibit the unilateral changing of the
tem1S and conditions of employment by the public employer; and
\VHEREAS, this would significantly jeopardize the delicate working balance in
public sector negotiations and tip the scales in the union's favor; and
\VHEREAS, when parties have reached genuine impasse and exhausted all other
avenues of the negotiations process; and
\VHEREAS, no resolution of outstanding issues have been achieved; and
WHEREAS, to avoid the continuing uneconomic existing practice and to preclude
the union's ability to deJay the conclusion of the process, the governing body may
act upon administratively established procedure and impose its last, best offer or
the recommendations of the fact finder; and
\\lHEREAS, the governing body recognizes that passage of S-319 and A-I030
would deprive public employers of a valuable management tool that was
established by PERC and supported by the NJ Supreme Court;
NOW, THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the goveming body of the
Borough ofCarteret strenuously opposes S-319/A-I030 and urges the Legislature
to provide local government officials with the management tools necessary to hold
