Open Letter to the NJ Legislature

Last Thursday, Governor Christie issued an Executive Order concerning public worker and retiree health benefits (EO 209). Fortunately, a year and half ago our unions won an Appellate Court ruling (3-0) concerning retiree prescription drug copays that made clear that only the New Jersey State Health Benefit Plan Design (PDC) has the authority to make changes to the State Health Benefit Plan. The PDC has equal numbers of union and management representatives meaning that nothing passes unless labor and management can agree to changes. The attached letter to legislators from the unions of the PDC explains our position in detail and outlines three specific union cost saving proposals.
