Please find a statement below from CWA regarding Governor Phil Murphy’s Budget Address and plans for a full pension payment:

“We are ecstatic that Governor Murphy is, once again, proposing a 100% pension payment,” said Dennis Trainor, Vice President for CWA District 1.  “Phil Murphy was the first governor in a quarter-century to fully fund the pension, and we’re heartened that he continues to keep his word.”

“In addition to our appreciation for Governor Murphy’s full pension payment, we look forward to working with the Murphy Administration to continue funding crucial priorities – such as healthcare, childcare, tax fairness, racial justice, environmental justice, economic justice, pay equity and workers’ rights,” said Fran Ehret, CWA NJ State Director. “These issues are all of paramount importance to both CWA members and all working families throughout New Jersey.”
