GUIDANCE FOR FURLOUGHED NJ STATE WORKERS REPRESENTED BY CWA: FILING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

TeleTown Hall Call on Job Security Deal, June 24, 2020

June 23, 2020: State workers have a job security deal

Last night, your State Worker Bargaining Team successfully completed negotiations on a very important No Layoff Agreement with the Murphy Administration.

This Agreement will protect our members job security during the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression. It includes a deferral of the upcoming July 2020 raise and a rescheduling of the April 2022 raise. It includes some furlough days, but most of which will be eligible for unemployment.

We will provide the details of this Agreement to our members within the coming days and you will have an opportunity to vote on this No Layoff Agreement this week.

We are proud of the agreement that we negotiated over the past several weeks. Deferring wage increases and having workers furloughed, even for a few days, is difficult. But in an environment such as this, we believe that we have accomplished something remarkable: Job protection for our members and their families. We hope that once you understand the details of this Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that you will agree and vote yes.

You will soon receive detailed information. We will have a Townhall Call to go over the Agreement, and you will be emailed voting instructions as soon as they are completed.

If you are a CWA Member and you need assistance with COVID-19 issues, please contact your CWA Local. 
A list of Locals and their phone numbers are below.

When you contact your Local, please explain your problem with details, such as:
Give your name.  Tell them what employer you work for.  Explain concisely what the issue is.  Do not assume that they know, many of our locals are getting hundreds of calls a day.
Please do not call about non-emergency matters that do not have to do with COVID-19.  We will handle those issues later.
If you are sick, if you have a family member who needs care, and the issue is that you can’t go to work.  Don’t go to work.  Make sure that you document why you are out.  If the employer is requiring medical or other information that you can’t get, document that you can’t get it and why.  We can deal with issues of leave and documentation a little later.  Don’t let the issue of documentation cause you to go to work if you are sick.   Do what keeps you safe.
Do not leave questions or comments on the general Facebook page.  It’s too open and we can’t track who is posting there.   PLEASE speak with your shop stewards and go through your Locals for information and to get questions answers.
